Nice looking truck. To do a pulley swap is a little more tricky as i think the pulleys are pressed on.

The blower pulleys are pressed on not keyed, nutted like other blowers. So you need to press off and on a pulley. I think pully boys does or did a fix to this to make it easier.

Or now that the Radix kits have aged so much, you could possibly locate a regular MP112 blower snout. That way you could swap pulleys at will. A few years back, it probably would make more fiscal sense to just purchase another press on pulley, but now there should be a fair amount of defunct units lying around to convert the unit back to normal aftermarket fair. It would also be a good and convenient time to change the gear oil in the unit. Either way a pulley swap should definitely get you on the road to more power.
