new pulley question
I have a buddy who has a cobalt ss. He is fixing to put in a 2.7 pulley into his car and i was wondering if it was possible to put the 3.1 he currently has into my 2000 ssei. Does anybody know if this can or should be done?

I run a 3.3" and I have a lot of mods. Also, you need to look at what kind of SC he has, is the shaft the same size? The cost of a pulley isn't worth a mistake. If you really want a smaller pulley, I have a 3.4" press on I'm not using. But even that might be a little small.

You can use a stock belt with a 3.5" and even a 3.4" but it gets loose with the 3.4" You can drop to a 715 belt, stock is 725 or you can go with a over sized tensioner. The down side with the over sized tensioner is the belt gets real close.
