    I know it's been asked but I can't readily find it.

    What is the smallest pulley I can safely go to without doing any other mods. Looking to get the most HP I can put my supercharger for under $500.

    Does anyone know the OE radiator hose sizes? I can't find it, but then again I haven't searched too hard for it either.

    Don't you have your deo fan kit? Just measure the hose adapter. It might even say on the side of it.

    EDIT: should be 33mm or 1 5/16"

    It is a beautiful combination huh.

    I didn't even think of that. Then again I'm doing everything I can to avoid walking because I recently got informed that I have a herniated disc so walking let alone doing anything mod related has been a severely off limits thing for me.

    Thank you for all your help guys!

    I'm going to have my old co-worker install the E-Fan kit for me tomorrow most likely. I just want the install for him to go as smooth as possible so I want to make sure I have everything ready to go for him.

    I still want him to come visit sometime and we can play with really how spicy we can make things. Ben’s just scared to push it I think since he already doesn’t seem to think what we have is driveable lol

    gents, I know its been too long. Been dedicating my time to restoring a '74 corvette and couldn't afford both projects so the truck as been sitting and driving but no tinkering. I ended up starting back at posts from May '20 and made it through July before jumping to now (you guys write too much :boink: haha).

    I was wondering if there was any new info on the R-something spark plugs that someone tried out new for our trucks from NGK. I think they were the VW plugs?? I called Napa and they have a few in stock, could get more. Gotta do plugs soon, got roughly 24k on the SC since install.

    Juan, great chatting with ya!

    @Skootter14 welcome back! Here are the plugs. A few of us are waiting on the re-release of the hi-performance ign coils from RIPP superchargers to pair with these plugs.

    Thanks!

    I assume there have been no problems for those that decided to test them out back in Jun/Jul of 2020? I could stick with the plugs that came with the sc but figured if these help burn more fuel and all that with no negaives observed it may not be a bad alternative.

    The early adopters have reported no problems and have claimed an improvement in fuel economy. I'm waiting to do these Ruthenium plugs and RIPP coils at the same time. There was a hiccup in the RIPP coils original design for the 1GRFE Tacoma which made them go back to the drawing board.

    I have been running those plugs and the rip coils with no issues. I am using the 3rd gen taco coil packs which are a bit longer than they are supposed to be, but in terms of function they are working fine.

    I don’t know if you saw my post about ripp. No time frame on a re-release. I got plugs on the shelf waiting on install but not the rutheniums. I’m going with NGK 2309’s
