06 2.4 w/ 2.9 pulley?
ok so i have a 3.1 pulley right now but wanna put a 2.9 pulley on it. About how much psi would I be making with it on? I have a badmab header, zzp 3 inch to 2.5 inch catted dp, and gmpp exhaust. I dont wanna put it on if im going to be making too high of pressure because I dont know how much the car can handle. Someone had told me before to stay away from 15 psi so if anyone has info on the limits of these cars thatd be great

the bottom end will be fine. the 06 block is the short block you want.
at 10-12 psi they say you start to float the valve springs, but I dont have any issues and I rap it out to 7000rpm daily.
Im at 14psi on a TVS with badmab shorty, zzp 3inch catted and 3inch catback, all cooling mods, and meth.
I would be more concerned with temperature after the blower when your at WOT.
In short, a 2.9 will be fine...

the part im "worried" about is having the gmpp catback. i hear it has some 2.25 piping. i gotta look for some stainless steel pipe so i have switch out the piping. you guys think thats possible? just having it cut off and welded in? so it can be 2.5

And twooz the 2.25 inch is fine, from what I understand, that catback was designed for the LSJ anyway and many of them have used it to pretty high power levels

the video I linked is the one that I had put in the other thread. the other thread was about my car jerking from 1st gear but i found out it was just hitting the rev limiter. I'm not sure if it still happens. I would assume it does cuz I havent done anything to the car. I always forget to look at my boost gauge and afrs when I go wot haha ill check next time though

Doesn't really look all that abnormal to me. The sc doesn't make full boost down low, it gradually increases as the rpms go up so the fact that it climbs that little bit isn't an issue. All of a sudden having more boost than normal, however, is but I don't know what could cause it.
