Also he is the guy who is running the data and tests to see what combinations work best and what doesn't. Nothing against the others above for there opinions but I don't think there doing the tests that Ted is to come to these conclusions.. so ultimately I'll wait to see his opinions on all this... sure he'll be posting in the morning..

headers are fine and definitely worthy but they certainly shouldn't be the reason for not going to a larger lower pulley initially. On the other hand, lack of fueling because of the stock injectors is a huge issue which you don't have utilizing the ID850s. The "huge restriction" with stock manifolds is not reality as headers are not an incredible horsepower jump (just read this thread...11 rwhp). Don't get me wrong, headers are fine and a great mod but your ability to run 93 octane because of them shouldn't be a concern. As Bryan stated above, his car didn't tolerate more timing in his tune just because he added headers. 18% or 22.5% lower without headers is no issue on 93 octane and has been proven to work well. It seems wasteful to start so low IMHO.

Guys.....the CTS-V people are the best to learn from, and is certainly (and far and away) the best board to do some research on. Once you get away from camaro5 and the parts peddlers here, there is a wealth of information out there that applies to these LSA's. |

The blower is not as good on the CTSV as is on the ZL-1 The ZL-1 with same pulley always has more boost than the CTSV. We are typically 1 step larger on the CTSV on the crank pulley for the same combination as the ZL-1. We are focusing on the Most efficient way to make use of the parts. Yes you can run the 18% with factory manifolds and cats, but at 3800 RPM the engine is not happy and actually gives up 23 RWTQ compared to the 10% due to having to reduce timing to avoid knock retard and only to gain 12 RWHP up top. Could also be a load of crap fuel which has a silver lining we Never know what we will get when we pull up to the pump. What works today may not work next week. My goal is to find what works well every week. The gain from the 10% to the 18% is not justified in my findings with exhaust manifolds and stock cats. I would expect that to change dramatically with Torco in the tank Remember Octane is always the limiter of power on any combination. When I added the Headers we were able to make use of the 18%, lower boost and still make more power. You also must consider the faster we spin the blower the faster we build heat that the little intercooler has to try an deal with. Boost over time is increasing Heat over time As I said earlier, moving more air and fuel across the cylinder head with the least amount of restriction is the most efficient way to make power. Ted.

I run an 18% lower and a 2:55 upper and pull 13.9 lbs of boost on 93 octane with no issues. 41,000 miles and 400 passes at the track. I do have a cam and LTs that lowers boost compared to a car without.

Instead of yeah run the 18 , you can do it and you will utilize your injectors more. I don't see the benefit of a 11 or 12 hp if it comes with the loss of 23 tq... Like I said before I want to come into Modding slowly. Hell I may just stop after what I have planned in the near future... but one thing I'll do is take the advice of something that makes sense when adding my mods. I'm looking for a reliable, drive perfect street car, not a gobs of power track monster. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk |

All of the educated responses are 100% accurate, but I bet with all that being said the car with the 18% pulley will run a faster 1/4 mile time than the car with the 10% pulley. They will both be equally safe and reliable as long as it is tuned appropriately for each pulley. Now if one were road racing the two different pulley combinations, I would go with the 10% setup because of cooling concerns.

I might add, I am not trying to talk him out of it just providing the data I collect, share it, and let him make the decision. Ted.

But there is more than 11-12 hp on the table. Like I said I have friends with CTS-Vs running 22-23 % overdrive with stock manifolds and good tuning running in the low 600's rwhp and 122-125 mph trap speeds. This is with about 17 deg total advance at WOT. Which BTW is the same advance I was running with 93 octane and 15 psi boost. I can run significantly more timing now with my cam which lowers the dynamic compression ratio.
