Default Estimated HP gain with a 2.2" pulley?

What is the estimated gain with a 2.2" pulley? I am curious, as I might make a appointment to get some runs on a dyno with a before and after. I found a local one that has good prices.

About 20hp and 30tq, properly tuned and with the right fuel pressure.

This is assuming no cracks in the EM'*, and all other things up to snuff.

WOW

I really didn't expect it to that much. I know 20 hp really isn't a ton, but still much more then I expected, I was thinking around 5 - 10

yes trust me it makes a HUGE difference

when i put on my 2.55 form the 2.8 even though i was getting KR in 2nd and 3rd gear... 1st gear i was getting non.

When i had the 2.55 on first gear i could just lite up the tires and bounce of the rev limiter did it by mistake because i did not think it was going to smoke the tires that much

Got the pulley today.

Forgot to ask, do I need a larger tensioner pulley so the belt doesn't slip? If so, anyone have a part number for it?

Yes, you need a 3.5" or you will get mad slip. Part numbers are in Techinfo.

Have you read the top article in this section:

Do you have a scantool and fuel pressure gauge?

Oh yeah, damn I am empty-minded today. I forgot to check techinfo for the #'*.

I got my scantool, 0* KR everytime I check. Fuel pressure gauge is being picked up tonight.
