Default Z06-2.3 pulley vs. 18 lower

Trying to decide on a pulley. To me I like the idea of being able to install the 2.3 myself. The 18 I would let the shop do. What are the pro/cons. Thanks

I think the crank pulley would be easier to install.

To do the blower pulley, you have to pull the blower, take the front apart, press off the stock pulley, then press on the new pulley.

Not to mention more of a chance of belt slip with the smaller pulley.

Do you have any videos of that old green beauty at the track? Just saw the trap speed on that all motor monster. Very badass

Our 2.31 pulley has absolutely zero slip, I can personally knock out an upper way faster than a lower.

What is the blower speed difference between a 2.31" upper or the 18% OD lower?


Maybe the upper install wouldn't be so bad if you didnt have to take the blower apart and need a press/tooling etc... Us "do it yourselfers" have hammers and torque wrenches...LOL
