I decided to switch out my VMP 2.65 Pulley for the VMP 2.59 Pulley. I did it because I like the aftermarket look of this pulley. I must say I’m getting pretty good at pulley installs. I did this one without a helper.
I also added a cool SVT plaque on my JLT heat shield that looks pretty cool.

No. I already installed a pulley in her car. I would sell this one if you need it.

I already have the quick change hub with a 2.8 might be some thing to look at. :idea: I lost a little boost with the long tubes. :doh: Just remembered can't hook in second with what I got.
Just leave well enough alone. :hammer_self:

Going from a 3 inch pulley to a 2.65 is good for about 30-35 HP at the flywheel.

I'm not sure what my small change going from 2.65 to 2.59 is good for. Not much. Maybe a pound of boost.

If you want my 2.65 pulley I could give it to you for 1/2 price of what it cost new and I would install it on your car. You would need to get a tune for it.
