=============================================

Does this mean with this brand new high performance engine, I could safely swap out the 3 pulleys on the belt for different sizes causing it to spin faster safely?

Or would this still not be a good idea until I get the 928 impeller upgrade?

Any advice / thoughts / opinions / facts are appreciated.

Thank you guys!!
The motor will handle power from the pulley upgrades no problem. If you're going to be spinning the sc at that high of an rpm then you would want to do the ceramic bearing upgrade. If you're planning to do the 928 impeller upgrade you should just do the "Super Vortech" upgrade which would include the bearings.

Also, keep in mind. Since you're in California (like me), you my not be able to run the boost that the pulley upgrade will give you on 91 octane. You may be limited to e85.

Oh yeah, by the way, nice motor!
