I didn't buy my pulley, nor do i know the manufacturer name.. but i always recommend a 2.81... reason being, is that you're not really losing much boost if any by staying at a 2.81 vs 2.76, but you won't have as much pulley slip... I never had any slip with my 2.81... You could always do a 2.93 with a 4# lower pulley... your hp numbers won't be as high, but your tq will improve and give you a better power curve all around.....

i always reccomend billet flow pulley do the 4pc idler set as well. it is worth it. for an unported blower i would got with a 2.76 as that will give you the most gain.

less then 1 psi difference between the 2.81 and the 2.76, but a whole lotta extra heat....

if i did it again id probably do the rr one for a bit more power, with all the bad posts about lower pulleys breaking cranks id go with the smallest upper you can

I would go with billetflow upper and idlers. Do a 2.76 if you are just doing an upper or a 2.93 and 4lb lower.
