No having said that doesn't these pistons allow for me to run the small pulley? I already have all the other mods.
We can thank Diamond for that as the pistons we ordered never arrived after weeks of hollow promises. In the end I had the Wiseco's sitting there so they got used.

There is a 75mm and a 70mm that harrop makes but we can make even smaller if you find you need them.

box stock motor sans valve train and cams.

rod. you're going to have to run at least a 2.9 pulley to get the torque down low. with the 3.1 pulley i have, which would be a 80mm i believe. you can watch the boost come up slowly, then for some reason at 4500-5k all hell breaks loose and it's game over.

Rod i have some idle scale numbers for you to run with your car, it'll get you more then on the way.
also, with a huge boost, turbo car CR that you now have,i would toss the smalles pulley i could at that car.
a forged motor with a 8:1 CR is just SCREEEEEMMMMMMMMING for 30psi!
plus, you going to have to run a smaller pulley to cram the air mass down the throat of the motor to make any kinda power outside of ultimate top end.
I'd start your car with a 75mm pulley, get basic tuning done, then go thro OTT and get a 70, or a 65mm pulley and try that, your not going to see the cylinder air mass needed for medium-big power with out mucho boost. that stock intake is gonna cause some issues as well sir.

I understand that, but a blower is still gonna create heat. I think we already proved this when people threw a 2.5 pulley on the m62 and now years later, people are proving they can make more power on slightly larger pullies.
It's like a viscious cycle. So I wouldn't think it'd be smart to just throw a 50mm pulley on when he can probably make more power on a 70 or 75mm because of the heat issues that will surface with the tiny 50mm.

That's the same reason I asked, and I doubt he spent less than 1K. I can see 1K wrapped up in just the gm stage 2, and then another 500-1K wrapped up in the nitrous, and then the other misc. parts.
Sounds like it would cost the same to me. But that's why I asked how much has he spent.
