    With a misfire you should be good to go to a 2.8 pulley. Nitrous would probably help out alot.

    Haha, you really didnt describe you situation at all AFB.

    Dont do a pulley drop until there are NO misfires.

    I can imagine lots of boost, not properly tuned with a misfire would **** a piston up.

    If you can please post all your current mods, we can tell you what pulley to go with when the misfire is GONE

    Oh god, He didnt order a clogged cat, he ordered my catless ZZP DP, and AFB, DONT drop any pulley sizes until you're engine is safe to do so.

    READ THIS. http://www.grandprixforums.net/f81/s...car-17482.html

    A 2.8 pulley requires massive amounts of mods, including an intercooler.

    Please dont blow your **** up.

    I bet if you throw in a steering wheel control unit and you will have some people interested in it. That is the kicker for most, they don't wan to lose the steering wheel controls.

    If that rust wasn't reinforced I bet you could easily run a 19.3. That extra weight is killing you. The weight savings from the rust are being offset by the reinforcing.

    ^When u put them don't forget to remove the rings. Everyone knows that burning oil produces more power than gas.

    Piston ring removal, man that's old school. I go a step higher I remove the piston bores before install. You think the motor was lubricated before.
