Bonneville SSEI
I've got a 2000 Bonneville SSEI with alittle over 138,000 miles. I was wondering what the stock Pulley size is on the Supercharger? Also what size Pulley can I add without making any major performance enhancements to the car. I just want alittle extra pop outta the car.

i beleive you can go to a 3.5 inch without further modding but from what ive heard it really may not be worth it to do just a pulley.Please dont quote me on this this is what ive gatherd it may not all be accurate(sorry if it isnt)

Stock pulley is 3.8" And I really don't suggest going lower with out supporting mods. The 2000+ tend to run lean and I've seen KR come up much sooner on the 2000+ You should be able to run a 3.6" safely, but every car is different. A 3.5" may also be OK, but without scanning for KR there is no way to say for sure.

Many people say you can drop to a 3.5 without any extra mods but whats the point if you cant get the full potential out of your mod. A cold air intake, and colder plugs along with a good tune will make that 3.5 worth your your while. Do some digging around the forum their are TONS of threads concerning this very mod.

Dropping to a 3.5" pulley will get you around 20hp or so, but ya, 1 range colder on the plugs, open up the intake a bit. Headers or a Plog is your best bet.
As for the scanner, it needs to have enhanced GM scanning to read KR. Most scanners do not have this. A aeroforce scan gauge is a good option.

Might take some modification, not a big deal. A custom intake is easy as well. Move the PCM over, and run a flex tube in to the wheel well with a K&N filter. There'* a write up or two in tech info about that.
