Stacked Pulleys..
203mm:74mm = 2,74. 178mm:65mm =2,74. The 185mm LET has 2,5 ratio.
Like the others say, it would be too much and on the Autobahn it would create to much heat when you are boosting for longer periods. Don't risk your engine...
i did the research and this is what i came up with
C3P pulley 65.8mm
63.6mm to equal the boost of 178mm Crank Pulley running @ 6,200 Engine RPM
62.5mm to equal the boost of 181mm Crank Pulley running @ 6,200 Engine RPM
61.2mm to equal the boost of 185mm Crank Pulley running @ 6,200 Engine RPM
so maybe a machined down s/c pulley to 60mm would to the trick
Stock Crank Pulley : 74mm S/C - - Ratio = 2.0270
Engine RPM @ 6,000 - - S/C RPM = 12,405 ~ 14.5 psi
though belt slip will get even worse with smaller pulley
that would be awesome if it could work. But I could see my engine blowing up doing 160 in the left lane which is the norm for me. No thanks, I think 185mm is in my future, Thanks all.203mm:74mm = 2,74. 178mm:65mm =2,74. The 185mm LET has 2,5 ratio.

Biggest crank that can go on our car is a 192. But even that requires some pre-mods to get to work correctly.

B.T.W. your 12.02 is an awesome time without even having the manifolds yet.
What's your trap speed?

I've had my eye on those manifolds ever since I found the thread NEEDSWINGS posted about them; I knew they would add power. Unfortunately, I've recently spent too much money on the car between having to replace my intercooler and other maintenance costs, so I cannot afford them right now
. It seems like people are having great success with these manifolds, and if I could drop a couple tenths like everyone else is, I would be hauling ***!
