People need to realize that the blower is pretty much maxed from the factory. Running a smaller pulley just pushes the powerband earlier in the rev range.
Also that going straight to Stage 2 is the biggest waste. If you want the big numbers you need to upgrade in stages.
1st : CAI
2nd : Full exhaust - Good Header, 3" downpipe, 2.5" or larger exhaust
3rd : Stage 2 and beyond
Look in some of the guys sigs on the forum. The guys with the most power have all of the 3 stages i state above done. The guys who post everyday on why there numbers are so low are the ones who go straight to a smaller pulley. Can't force more air in when the exhaust is all clogged up.

Ninja editted, using wrong numbers. I did the math earlier assuming 550cc injectors, when they are actually 450cc in stage 2. It should read that with our fuel pressure, the 42s flow like a set of 50s. Also the calulation I posted here a second ago was incorrect.

haha, I did the math originally with the right calculation (actually an online calculator) but the wrong injector size. The I got the injector size right and got the calculation wrong. I think I'm going crazy.
