Dont get me wrong I hit it hard here and there but its not a normal thing for me. I just finally broke in my RXT Mcleod which now it grips like hell (I know, careful with the Trans, whole other issue 🤦‍♂️😆)
I'd pulley down to whatever your tuner is comfortable with before spending money on an upgrade. Just an odd approach to go with a bigger blower if you're not using the one you have. Kinda like having a coyote and not revving it, oh wait.. haha

Carlos. Make decisions based on what you want to do, not what another owner is trying to tell you what you should do. This forum is good for passing on help and recommendations, but some people beat their opinion to death sometimes trying to get others to change their mind and do what they feel they should do. At the end of the day, it is your money, and what you can afford or willing to spend. Everyone has chimed in with their opinions enough so hopefully you can make a decision based on what your wants/needs and financial limits are. Good Luck with your project.

At the end of the day, My Money is my money, your money is your money, and the other guys money is his money. That is unless someone else offers to pay. LOL.

sir, you have over 200 threads on this forum started by you and you’ve only been here since 2020. If there was a person who does based on what people say it’s you. You’ve been debating here whipple or ess for at least a year. Please sit down. The people with coyote, procharger and whipple experience are making suggestions. 2 people are suggesting a $200 investment so see if there’s a fix to his problem…..I see no fault with that logic….if it’s wrong then he can still go spend 11k on a whipple.

Easy now! I am always down for a good ass debate and bar fight (im part irish) 😂 I enjoy everyone's opinion and experience. As it stands the smaller pulley does make the most sense and possibly dollars $$ I think that my initial pulley swap was a waste (4.74 to a 4.63 🤷‍♂️)

Try a smaller pulley, if it doesn't meet your needs then open that wallet!

You could also try the MAK inlet and see if tuner can optimize cam timing in lower to midrange areas. What intake manifold do you have? Some have tried the 18up truck manifold and state there are low rpm gains to be had. @K4fxd

How about I’ll do you one better….I will give you a pulley and a belt. You give me 200. If you don’t like it you bring it pulley and belt back and I’ll give you your money back. No cost to you but your time to test it.

Personally I'd love to try this with a procharger.

Try what? The Mani? My mani is stock for 2016. This car was purchased basically in brand new condition with only the PC and Magnaflow install everything else is bone stock. Ive made a few changes to support what it currently has.

Yes the 18 up truck manifold with a procharger. This manifold N/A likes to shift at 7100 and gives a huge torque boost up to 5500 RPM. The midrange with a procharger should bump the TQ quite a bit and the top end boost should carry out to 7500 or so.

At least that is my theory, would love to test it.

EDIT

You are hurting yourself with the gen2 manifold. The GT350 is a proven performer and your current tune will run it. But this will want to rev out to 8000 +
