Its all in the tune. I've seen guys with 2.8" pulleys put down less power than guys running stage 2.

guys with a 2.6 have made more power than on a 2.5, its just very inefficent. Most people don't go below a 2.7 for that very reason, unless you are running meth you are going to face serious heat issues.

True...

2.5 will result in higher IAT's which kills HP.
If he has sufficient cooling mods he will beat you though....if he can drive !

It could help, you would be better served by upping the meth mixture and adding timing. If you can't add any more and still gain power, yet you aren't seeing knock, then drop to a 2.7.
