This is going to be interesting. By the way if you are talking about the L, it is a truck not a car

you NEED a chip to calibrate the 90mm MAF. NO EXCEPTIONS! (maybe a reflash)

I have a 6# and LOVE it.

yes

go right to the 6. I went from a 2.......to a 4..........and now to a 6.

Definetely change to a 90mm maf. Honestly, if you can pick up an sct2400 at a comparable price, just do that.

If i only knew the things i know now about 4 years ago.

I personaly love the 4lb lower, 2.80 upper combo. I still net 14psi, but it comes on so much faster with the 2.80 upper the it does with a 6lb lower.

I also went 2...4...and now 6 as soon as it arrives.

I had fun with each pulley as I desired more and more. If your looking for some great power and daily driving, I would say get the 4#. You will be happy with the results. I don't drive mine every day now, so I am stepping it up a bit to the 6#. If it breaks, I now have another car until I can get it fixed.

I had the 4lb on for two years and lovedit. I now went with the 2.80 upper and the 4lb lower and all i can say is wow. I do plan on putting on the headers in the summer but for right now i think i'll be fine with the extra 6psi over stock..... If i had to do it all over again i would just go with the 6 BIG difference from the 4.... i also drive my L everyday. best of luck

you will want to go with a 90mm. You wont have to worry about pegging the MAF which is a problem with some trucks.

How "BIG" of a difference does it make going from a 4 lb to 6 lb. I run a 4 lb lower, 90mm MAF, Magna Cat-Back, and a tune. Would it be better for me to run a 6 lb lower or keep the 4 and install a 2.8 upper? By the way, my L is a daily driver. Any thoughts would be good.

You know, I have been considering the same thing. Is moving from a 4lb to a 6lb like moving from stock to 4lb? If so I am all for it.
