Yeah, even though mine is a hair bigger(3.5), I noticed a big difference with the smaller pulley. It really woke my bonne up!

When I put this pulley on, does the PCM have to take time to adjust anything?

No, but it may get a little stronger as it works out the best A/F ratio for various performance needs.

Ok, reason I ask is, when I got the downpipe installed, after driving it for a while, the car seemed to respond a lot better after some time.

Wondered if it would do the same with the pulley.

It doesnt take time to work, you will notice it right off. However it will improve and adapt to your driving style. The PCM is always learning and adjusting.

Did you notice any KR in extreme weather conditions? Any baseline and improvement measurements using the 3.5" upper pulley.

Thanks

What'* stock size, and what is the difference between going bigger and going smaller?

92-93 Stock is 2.55" Can go as low as 2.2" safely.
94-95 Stock is 2.85" Can go as low as 2.5" (running 92-93 stock pulley is cheaper).
