well the smaller size you go, the more power you make. So, 2.75" is the smallest i've heard of that will go on the stock blower. This is a pretty sizeable increase from stock. There is also Ford Racing 2.93" pulley...and ithink theres a 2.86"??? not positive. I know SLP makes that 2.75" pulley. IMO, best place to go for parts like this is www.lightningforceperformance.com . Real knowledgeable guys and will always take time to explain things. Great company.

Would I need to get a lower pulley as well?...and if I just get the upper would I have to get a new belt?

I'm pretty sure that you need to get a smaller belt with it and no I'm pretty sure you don't need the lower one. Call Lightning Force....they'll answer everything

Ya 2.76 is the smallest you can get. Also with a smaller pulley you will need a different belt and I would recommend getting an snub idler pulley and bracket to help eliminate belp slip. You don't have to get a lower to change the upper. The lowers are good for some great torque gains though.

If you're looking, feel free to consider the pulleys I make. I've made about 50 for Cobras, 1000 for Cobalt SS's, and 1500 for supercharged 3800's (Grand Prix GTP, Bonneville SSEi, Regal GS, etc.) Here's the website, www.smoothflowpulleys.com
