Question for Benz Motor/Blower Pros...
Been doing a lot of thinking and just wondering how come you just can't swap the pulley on the blower itself for power increase. I was checking out Kenny Bell's website and he has it down to a science and even offers a blower pulley "puller" for quick swaps at the track on his units.
Spent awhile staring at it last night and it seems like the aluminum pulley is unable to be disconnected from the black pulley clutch.....it also seems like the pulley has an aluminum "lip" that butts up against the black clutch, if that is the case, I guess I answered my own question.....unit is just too custom to grab a pulley from somewhere huh?
Wonder if you could mill the pulley down to make it smaller.....just scheming..always thinking ya know.

By increasing the air into the motor you would need to add more fuel, and I'm not sure the 211 will add that much more fuel without an ECU upgrade. I'm sure there is more but, hey I'm a 210 guy.
