Default 185mm pulley installed need help feels like rev limiter at 5500rpms

Hi guys, i got a smaller water pump pulley to make the 185mm work but i.dont know who made the pulley as I bought it used. I am using needswings psk kit
Now I have a new issue. the car runs and shift when driving normal but when I am wot in all gears right around 5500 rpms it's like I'm bouncing off a rev limiter and wont shift or let me go past it, if I let off the gas it will shift. I have no ECU tune do you think that could help. Also if car is Cold it will go through all rpms and shift fine but doesnt last long. Current mods; single cai, tweaked manifolds, and coolant isolation kit. (maybe supercooler will help)... All help, thoughts, and recommendations are appreciated.

You could have several lessor issues but the first thing you need is to stop going WOT until you get a tune to support all the mods you've done. Frankly, if you haven't hurt your engine already your a lucky, lucky dude. Get a tune before anything else! 185 crank pulley and tweaked manifolds and no tune ........ suicide.

Be mindful of the 185 pulley I had two destroy themselves one at 6000. I went to a smaller SC puller. I have my fuel pressure regulated by my boost and have FA mixtures about 12.4 to one. Rail pressure is the key, using stock injectors! Rob has used the fuel regulator scheme and has sold them also, enjoy Woody

I can see no reason to start another thread, the other one could have been added to.
The 185 pulley has been nothing but trouble from day one as a search would have shown, the search would have also stated the need for a tune etc.
I would have heeded Woodys warning and not proceeded to use it, and the early SC pulleys were a disaster waiting to happen.
Some of the after market pulleys, both the 185 crank and the early SC pulleys have caused a lot of damage to the cars.
