Here is link to the belt if anybody is interested. Again, this belt is for the 3.12 pulley with the new belt configuration.

I've been Daily Driving with the 2.87 pulley for about a year now. The most important part is the tune. With a good tune, you can Daily Drive almost any power level.

I am in a similar situation, as I am trying to figure out what to do next. I'm going to go with the Kinetix SSV and Meth Injection.

Meth is probably the next best mod along with the 2.87 and pulley (and a good tune).

The Aquamist HFS-6 is probably the best one for this setup, it's a little pricey, so I'm also looking at the Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler.

I'll probably end up saving up for the HFS-6 though.

If not going serious crazy numbers, imo you don't really need it. Good tuner will tell you, they can tune the car very safe without W/M. Don't get me wrong tho, having a W/M isn't that bad idea tho. I have a W/M in my car, i had the really good deal, couldn't pass at that time. If you can get a really really good deal on W/M system, i will say go for. But if not, i would save that money for gears or RFS or something else.

Just my two centz

for next steps.. do u have
BBK
Body kit
rims
nice tires
suspension
exhaust
audio

sounds like your motor stuff is maxed out and i wouldnt spend any more money on it since its running well and making good power.

otherwise, dump the vortech and start over with a built motor and turbos. thats what most vortech owners do eventually.

I am more than happy with the Vortech setup (For the time being anyways). I just want to make sure I have all the right parts to run it at full potential.

I am happy right now with the rest of the car as far as upgrades go. I have a BBK front and back, body kit, wheels and suspension. I will probably re-do the audio setup once I finish with the go fast parts.
