Running a 2.5" Pulley
There are many ppl who believe that it should not be done and many others who believe it can be done as long as you take the right steps and are careful. Lets clear up this debate once and for all!! LSJWannabe, 607 motorsports i know you both have ran the 2.5 with no problems. explain to us how exactly u did that. any nay sayers(silent'd
) give us ur reasoning why we shouldnt and we'll settle this once and for all

Agreed, it's all about the tuning and how you drive the car, also you gotta have all the cooling mods and meth definately helps 
By no means do I take it easy on the car but I also don't beat it daily. I've put over 20k miles on the car with a 2.5" pulley and drive it about 200-250 miles a week.

Haha Why do you think I am getting the software. There isn't anyone around me that can tune me so the Harrop wouldn't do me any good right now but when I learn how to tune at least half ass I think I am gonna give it a try. Can't beat a at least 50whp bolt on.
I was getting ready to order the software but I decided I better save a little more and go ahead and get the wide band also.

i agree its all in the tuning..
the problem is 2 things
1) theres no tuners close to chris or me
2) he does not know how to tune
i personally think he will be safer with a turbo or 2.8. IMO
