they sell them down to 2.5".

most people recomend for anything 2.9 or below to add some additional cooling mods like a heat exchanger, or meth injection. some have run without the cooling mods and have not had problems, but you'll get more power and more reliability with the extra cooling.

You can go a 2.6 or 2.5 i believe with all cooling mods...i wouldnt go under a 2.7 just so that your car can still be very dependable

with no cooling mods dont go below a 2.8 inch pulley. 2.7 is really as low as you ever want to go anyway...thats when the blower exceeds its efficiency

you could run a 2.9 with that setup. but your next mod should be atleast a heat exchanger

ok you can go as low as a 2.5" pulley..

HOWEVER

this is a roots type supercharger. It heat soaks like a mother and it becomes counterproductive. IMO, I wouldn't go lower than a 2.8, MAYBE a 2.7. anything past a 2.7 is just dumb.

However, if you go 2.7 or 2.8, you'd better run 60's and just about every other cooling mod you can get to make use of it
