Default pulley or power pipe?

ok so i am trying to get 360 rwhp or more but i dont feel like buying a $200 power pipe so could i just get a 3.40 or 3.48 pulley and get 360rhwp or should i get the pulley and the power pipe? i have a n/i v-2.

I'm confused if you don't feel like buying a $200 power pipe, how is buying a pulley and pipe an option? Doesn't really matter which one you buy. Both accomplish the same thing, more boost. Both are also going to need a retune.

what is a n/i v2?? im guessing an sq trim? as said both will give you boost increases. one will cost about 85 + retune....other will cost $200 + retune. power pipes look really good too! better than that crappy piece of plastic!

if your goal is 360rwhp, i would get it dyno tuned first and see where your at. Id be willing to bet with full bolt ons and 8psi that your probably pretty close to being there already.

Well I guess it depends on what you consider full bolt ons but I'd be very surprised if you only made 330rwhp. I would agree with 97stanger, I would say you should pretty much be there already.

yeah man you have to be more than 330rwhp. I made that with my blower setup and only a PI intake manifold before the intercooler. OOOHHH, maybe your an auto??
