STS Pulley Mod for 2.2 Xtreme

AspecialZ · 06-13-2007, 03:02 PM

Hey all, I just wanted to post this for the fun of it. I have a 99 s-10 xtreme 2.2 5-speed with around 54000 miles. We just did the ebay acclaimed STS pulley mod. Well, I traded a few people some items to be able to run it on a dyno at the local tech college. 3 passes at stock and then 2 after my gibson exhaust, we found no change, but atleast it sounds good. However, after the STS pulley mod we gained 7hp on the 1st and 2nd run, and 9hp on the 3rd run. So rear wheel hp gain was between 6-10hp respectively!

-I am in the middle of installing my e-fan now, hoping that will help free up a little more hp and torque out of the "Red Baron" Anywho, I know I asked the question on what is the HP gains from this mod, so here ya go! Hopefully I can get another chance after the e-fan install.

-Oh, in case you were wondering, the K&N CAI only added 2hp at best, not really what I wanted to see

In case you were wondering, I didn't want to get into any head or motor work just yet, even though I know my biggest gains would be there, Gotta get this thing on the road soon! later...

the pulleys were around $118 shipped, and they were polished, a nice touch. They also came with a gatorback goodyear belt. A pretty good value I think

I had to buy one of those belts for my dad's buick riviera and it was like $55

Really only 2hp from the k&N FIPK?? That sucks, it said 7hp on there website.

AspecialZ · 06-18-2007, 12:54 PM

I was a little pissed too, but, what are you gonna do ya know...

tstrenuous10 · 06-19-2007, 09:30 PM

I just bought the same pulleys for my truck. I'm also lookin to do the efan mod. Again...sad that K&N adds 2 and the pulleys add 7. After a while I'll have to slap on Al's header. It's been sitting in the garage for a long time.

xtremegeek · 06-19-2007, 11:29 PM

why would you mod a 2.2? I bet you hardly broke into 100whp

tstrenuous10 · 06-19-2007, 11:30 PM

Cuz not everyone can have a 4.3

Well the 4.3 isn't anything special. Im just saying before you know it, you'll end up spending some serious $$ with poor to no results especially on a tutu. Then again its not like I haven't spent $$ for pointless crap on my truck

well, I have a 4.3 (show truck) and the 2.2 is my EDD that I will be running 500 miles a week round trip to Pittsburgh. Fact is I'm at 119RWhp if that matters to you. Search the thread "Perfect yard" and you can see the pictures. later dude!

Yea, That was the best run I had with it, Ran 111 and 113 on 1st and 2nd runs

SC6311 · 07-09-2007, 04:53 AM

Do you have any before and after dyno graphs? Also, what kind of dyno did you use?

I would be really interested to see them!

CHRIS

AspecialZ · 07-11-2007, 12:22 PM

I used a variable load dyno, yea, I can post them, I have them on a disk from the shop but I don't have the program to open them up on my computer. I'll see what I can find.

djleighk15 · 01-29-2008, 10:41 PM

can someone post a link to these Pulleys, I search for STS pullys and there were NO search results at all.

tg900 · 04-13-2009, 01:14 PM

really old thread, but x2, can't find the sts pulleys

beandip · 04-13-2009, 01:17 PM
