Default Cobra Noob

im looking at http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
and was wondering it's a good choice and what are actual gains on it. i read that stock cobra's are around 8-10 psi and that the 2.8 pulley adds about 4-5 psi to that is that correct? and also im looking IRS braces is there any brands i should look into? sorry for the noob questions i come from a place with 2v's less then what i have now (mods are on my sig btw)

as far as the IRS brace goes... I have the Steeda one, alot of people go with the billetflow, its about the same cost... i dont see much of a difference other than the colors.

And you definately want to get one if your pushing 450tq... especially if you plan on running drag radials or slicks in your future

Save your money and wait for FPW's IRS cover. It's finned billet aluminum with cap studs and o-rings...it's quite impressive.

How much boost are you seeing now? FWIW, careful with "sure grip" pulleys like that, they have a tendency to chew up blower belts.

ok you already have an aftermarket pulley, measure it next time you have a chance, looks like it may be 2.8 already... compare pics
