you can find a lot on this subject by using the search function. you will also find a naive table showing a supposed relation between pulley dia and HP increase

about two years ago the question was deeply discussed and the consensus, at that time, was for a pulley close to 170mm as the best option .
...today it's moving forward
btw,
i have fitted a 172mm pulley,sports cat,k&n filters. and my car has gone slower,any suggestions

I know this is a really old thread, but if you see this, and haven't figured it out yet(I'm sure you have), replaced your I/C pump.
