unported eatons a 4# is about the max results, anything bigger creates a lot of heat. (you'll go faster with a 6#, but at a LOT highr temp.
Ported eatons, since they flow more air, I'd say a 5# or 6#. 6# is still pushing it, but that is what I'm changing over to.
I'll be selling my 3# lower soon.
also, the smaller your upper pulley, the more it is prone to SLIPPAGE o nthe smaller pulley

Why would the heat matter, if you are going faster, and not detonating? I'm also running a 6lb lower, with an Apten. No detonation yet.

Cooler is better.
