Re: dropping pulley size

Speed daddys list for right around 250 on ebay, and 216.99 on their website and are by far the best bang for your buck.

I'm very mechanically inclined, I've done wheel bearings on many cars, I just like to know what I'm ...

I have a 2000 bonneville sle, and I am doing my header install soon, so I was wondering if any one has tips on how to get the SD headers to match up, Thinking about getting a section of exhaust pipe the same as stock diameter, clamp it on past where the cat is, and weld a flange on to bolt up to the ...

Re: Topswap build!

Well high compression helps, and I'm down to a 3.6 pulley. people argue like 10-20% more power with comparable mods on a high compression block vs a low compression one.

Re: Topswap build!

What kind of MPG's are you seeing with the E85? And did you change the fuel pump? I know a couple of people running E85 and they had to put in a different fuel pump due to the stock pump not being able to keep up with the bigger injectors.

Stock pump still, no issues until you near 300 WHP ...
