Which Aftermarket Supercharcharger Pulley Size?

Can anyone point me to information about choosing the correct supercharger pulley?

Thanks,

Robin.

to know that, we really need to know what your plans for the car are. but most likely you want a 15% pulley then later on down the road if you want to go bigger, you can add a crank pulley in a 2%, 3%, or 4%. by adding the larger crank pulley you lighten all the mass, and you save the belt ware that some of the smaller pulley can give. hope that helps. feel free to give me a call and we can talk more about it.

Hi Chad,

I was interested in the advantages/disadvantages of15/17/19% pulleys.

Initially it will be for street, but I am thinkning about trying out Autocross for fun.

Thanks,

Robin.

depends on where you live, but I have had 15% and currently 19% Helix pulley. If you live near the east coast i would opt for the Helix pulley and Eric will install it for you. Great guy/Company to deal with.

Hi Mark,

I live 20 miles east of Philly, and am going to Helix to get the springs/swaybar and rear control arns done in a couple of weeks. Next trip there will be an exhaust and the pulley. I just wanted to get some facts before I get the pulley put on.

Thanks
