    So If I Have The Mods Listed On My Signature Minus Alki Injection, Is A 3.2 Pully Safe To Use At The Track With Race Gas, And Not Worry About Knocking? With My 'common' Set Up, How Small Of A Pulley Can I Use With How High An Octain Unleaded Race Fuel?
    And
    About How Much Psi Does Our Eaton Produce With A 3.2 Pulley In Lbs Of Boost?

    IIRC Ideally you will gain 1 psi per tenth inch of a pulley drop. As far as what pulley you can run, only a scanner can answer that for you.

    Nobody can safely tell you what you are able to run....with the amount of different types of scanners available now, theres absolutely no reason to not have one so that you can safely mod the car If you're going to put hundreds and potentially thousands of dollars into the car...spend the $40-$200 to get a good scanner to keep track of what's going on under the hood.

    I agree with the scanner thats the only way to truly tell, I am able to run a 3.2 currently with 0 knock with the addition of 1.9's and a N* to my current sig mods on pump gas.

    i have headers, rockers, home ported throttle body and blower, and i run a 3.4 right now. the slew of other tiny mods that i dont list help that much more too. i can run a 3.2, but it knocks just that much more and i dont want to blow it up before i put the intercooler on.

    im hoping with my SSIC i can run the 3.2 with 18*+ of timing. that will make for a fun ride.b
