No, you do not need a boost bypass for any pulley upgrades. Oh, and by the way, there is never a dumb question on this forum!

 

?

Really.

I thought you did need it.

Do the 02's not dumb boost ?

 

Yes our trucks are designed to dump boost from time to time; usually during excessive tire spin. But installing a boost bypass kit, or unpluging the boost bypass is not required.

 

Something new learned every day.

 

Hey, That's what Harley buds are for!!

 

Thanks for the information!

Does it affect performance if the bypass is unplugged ?

 

Now that question will definitley be debated. However I say yes, and only because of personal exp. I unplugged mine and picked up over 2 tenths in the 1/8 mile. Now this was early on in my drag racing adventures, so it could have been that I was actually starting to get better. I have a buddy with an L (Chikenears) and he swears it gives you better performance. So I unplug mine at the track.
