Last summer I was running a 2.9" pulley on E85 and 24° timing with no knock. This summer I'd like to drop the pulley size and run less timing. I figure I need to go smaller than a 2.8"
I read that anything smaller than 2.8" requires machining the snout. I've already ground the fins off. Is that enough to run a 2.7" or even 2.6"? At what point is belt slipping a problem?
Thanks!
