Hey whats up everyone. I have a 95 stang with a Vortech S-trim, 3.73's in the rear end, bauman enigneering shift kit, and some bf goodrich drag radials that allowed me to run 13.9 @ 101 mph at the track tonight!! Im thinking of getting a pulley upgrade from vortech. They have 3 choices and don't really know which one to go with. Their all 8-rib but different sizes. (2.75",2.95", 3.33") Wondering if anyone could give me in for on what to go with an why. Thank you.

A few questions...
What is your current pulley (the lower and upper)?
What heads are you running?
What head gaskets?
Stock or built bottom end?

I wouldn't go any smaller than the 3.33 pulley. You're asking for trouble if you really turn the boost up on a 94-95 engine.

Ok I appreciate the input. What add ons then can I put on that will increase my hp but not effect it in a negative way like a bigger pulley would??
