since you already have a smallish 2.87 on the charger I would go with the 7" crank pulley. I have that on mine and I got it from ASP. If you dont mind some advice, and I had known then what I know now this is what I would do. Since you are considering the crank pulley, and that would force you to buy a new belt any how, spend the extra money for a new 8 rib charger pulley and convert it all to a 8 rib set up. I know this is what I want to do because I have a 2.75 pulley on my blower with a 7" crank, and I really need to put alot of tension on the belt so I dont get any slipping. Also going from a 6" to 7" crank pulley will give a 15% increase in boost.

I was wondering if you were going to comment on the photochop or not. I love what you did with your hood and the stripes. That pic of my car is my motivation to get my cosmetics in shape. Right now the car looks kind of crappy till the hood is popped. I hope your not pissed that Im kinda going after your look.
