Make it scream now, run a 3" pulley and e47 to be on the safe side for cylinder temps and pressure.

Then instead of beating them by a few car lengths you can put buses and jet liners on them

Well problem is I already have a 2.8 installed on the snout. I'm already running E47 so that's no problem. I just don't want to blow the car up too early you know? Before I have anything saved. It'll be next year at the earliest. I still need to finish machining out my endplate for dual pass.

A 3" is cheap enough and it's easy enough to swap. What header/dp combo are you running?

Meh I'd rather just make the tune more mild since it's free instead of buying a smaller pulley. Currently running badmab header/zzp 2.5" catted dp into a 2.5" catback

Going home I avoided a ticket. I usually speed up to 75 a certain distance before the speed limit goes up to that. It makes merging with 75mph traffic way easier. But I saw a pair of headlights in my mirror I didn't recognize so I was cautious and stayed at 65. Sure enough it was a state trooper. Yay for foresight! The guy in front of me didn't fare so well

Yeah I wish more people had that mentality. So I got my marker lights a day early and have already dismembered one of them and soldered wires to it:
