In a drag race - once you launch you just go straight and hang on, but canyon driving that requires your SC to build up PSI over and over and over again --- that's really the true beauty of the 185 pulley....IMHO
This is a good point. Even
IF the 185 doesn't make any more "peak" power than the 178 (I believe it does, but I'm just theoretically speaking here) the 185 will make power
SOONER, all day long. The increased drive ratio not only spins the supercharger faster at redline, but it also spins the super charger faster across the board. That means the supercharger builds boost sooner... this makes more low end torque. I'm running the 178+Code3, but since I haven't dynoed my car yet, I can't "prove" that the car makes any more "peak" horsepower over the 178 only. However, I can tell you that under high load, I see about 12psi at 2000 RPM. I guarantee nobody is doing that with only a 178.
