Default Which upper pulleys is everyone using?

I have researched here and seen people are using all different kinds of upper pulleys. Its time to add one on, Which brand is working the best? I was thinking about going with Venegence racing one? Any thoughts?

Heck if you're thinking of cranking up the boost, you might consider the new Magnuson huffer which would be a better set up than stock.

Vengeance can set you up with that too.

Would be a better platform than the stock unit, and allow headroom for cranking it up even further while being better able to keep IAT2s in check.

Just a thought, and Vengeance is already getting them ready to go for customers.

I agree with OnPoint. A Magnuson blower and a Ron Davis radiator would be a really good setup for this car.

Yeah that's true. VR or Innovators West have pullies and either one are great choices. Just an idea though, if you're dumping more power into the car, I would invest on the Ron Davis radiator just in case.

Will the radiator help keep temps down very well? Does it work with the magnuson?

The radiator should help quite a bit since it's a dual pass. A few people have run it at the track and it brought down temps by about 20 degrees. It would probably work well with the Magnuson since the 2.3 blower shouldn't be putting out as much heat as the 1.7 blower.

I sent him info to link up with Vengeance (who he mentioned as being a vendor he's familiar with) who is prepping that charger for sale.

I'm not affiliated with Vengeance and as such am not involved in their pricing or availability.

You can PM Ron@Vengeance (forum supporting vendor here) for all the info you need.
