Hey Joe. I would take it to someone that does LS1 edit or a tune like that. I think you'll be surprised at how much power is lurking in that motor with your upgrades. You can also have the rev limiter increased with LS1 edit. Anywhere between 6500 and 6700 is generally fine for a healthy LS1.
I'm not really sure I understand your question about the crank pulley.
Good luck.

If you are the originator of the thread and have not gotten many replies this is a way of getting more reads/replies.

Why torture and nag people -- this thread has gotten 119 views, and a total of 12 answers (about 10%), but only two that were relevant to the question (less than 2%).
Shouldn't it die out of a lack of interest at that point?
