Default Need some help with radix

Hey, so I'm working on my radix install, 112 going on a Lq4. I have a 3" pulley that I was going to put on, but its the wrong size...it is too big to fit on the shaft. I would just order the right one and wait, but its supposed to be on the dyno tomorrow at 10am. It has a 3.4" pulley on it right now, is that going to make enough boost on the motor that its worth me spending the money on the dyno tune?

I would get the right pulley before tuning. The 3.4 makes about 5-6lbs on a 5.3L Call Joe at Left Coast https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...p?userid=44662 and have him ship you one overnight!

The tune will be based on boost. I spoke with you earlier and suggest that you have Pulley Boys overnight a pulley for the dyno tune you have scheduled. There is no way I or Pulley boys can have it to you by tomorrow at 10am. They may be able to ship it direct to the tuning shop and have it scheduled for a 10:30 delivery at best.

Thanks guys, yeah I'm talking with pulley boys right now, just waiting on a call back we'll see what happens, I can always reschedule the dyno if need be. It just sucks because I had the install about half done when i found out the pulley was the wrong one.

Sorry you had that issue with the pulley. They have both listed on their site in the MagnaCharger section. The kind needed for the truck kits with J-Tube are the nose drive pulley's.

Ran good on the dyno, made 369rwhp and 400rwtq. The truck definitely has some sweet power now
