With a 17% pulley, you should install a shorter drive belt as well.

You will need to change you driving habit or you will get a ticket soon.

As mentionned earlier, get a shorter belt.

You might also want to get an ECU software (GIAC, MTH, ...) to fully take advantage of the pulley. Don't get me wrong, the stock ECU will work, but an aftermarket ECU software will help.

congrats on your new toys and enjoy them!

there is no question ; you must do a shorter belt. a change of underoos is also strongly recommended .
