Re-tune after upper pulley swap?

My car has already been tuned for my current minimal mods, headers and cai, is it a requirement to retune after I change the upper pulley? Should I get 2.38 or 2.55? I do not plan on swapping the lower pulley until I do heads and cam, which will be a year or so. Thanks!

Anything over 5% overdrive and you will need injectors too. Not 100% sure if 5% OD is the maximum on stock injectors.

And yes you will need a retune. You are adding boost and you will need to compensate for that in the tune

Yes you will need a tune and larger injectors to support more boost.

A better way to add boost and less work is the Lower ATI super damper with choice of 5-10-18-22.5 or 28% interchange able pulleys.

A smalller Upper requires blower removal and will induce belt slip.

We stock everything ZL-1 and provide Free custom tuning with purchase of our power packages.

Thanks guys, I was hoping to not re tune so soon as I just got it tuned after headers and cai, but it is what it is.
