On my old Cobra i added a 100mm aux idler to prevent slip but i had a 2.76 pulley.

I went with a gates 74.5 belt as well.

Oh ya a tune might be a good idea as they say a 3.10 should be the smallest w/o a tune.

Either way gotta get that A/F checked after [burnout]

I have a black 03. and TRIXSNK, when you say A/F, you mean air/fuel mixture right? lets say i put a 2.95 pulley on and no other idle, etc. will i mess something up or no. and will i need another size belt for a 2.95?

For best results and to possibly save your motor get a tune when you do the pulley swap. You will also need a different size belt. I think I may have seen your car at 7 flags in Fairfield. You reved at my Cobra while I was at the car wash. I have a redfire 04 if that was you. I think you need a gates 74.5 belt but I could be wrong. I will check to see what is on my car and let you know

Changing the pulley to ANY size without a tune is a VERY bad idea and not give anywere close to optimal performance and safety.

Sorry i should have clarified to not lead anyone in the wrong direction [Frown] .

When i said "they" i meant what others have tried not saying you should attempt the same.

Just like Jeff said with any pulley change it's imperative to get it on a dyno, tuned, and that will usually come with the A/F ratio.
