most of the time it still seems like the extra power wouldn't really be able to utilized fully, the c30 and stock pulley (93 oct) goes very well (for my uses) when you dig hard on it (wot in 2nd a lot for autox, wot 3rd-5th a lot on track). With 265 re71-r traction isn't a huge issue, but its far from impossible to lose it either.
ended up parked next to a worked over elise with a c38 among other mods this weekend at a test and tune using a very short configuration to the local autox venue.
he claimed to be in the low 2000lbs range and over 400 hp, far greter power to weight than the c30 and frs, let alone he was a solid 100 lbs less than my fat ass.
still put about 2 seconds on him on a 40 second course.

For auto-x and/or track use I think smaller pulley would be a better idea since the penalty of using a bigger blower is also bigger in the low-mid range torque, with the smaller pulley however we simply shift the power curve to the left without the added parasitic loss .. I will probably get the smaller pulley and test the distilled water method combined with the watter method and a custom spray for the intercooler and get before and after data and share them here..
