Factors influencing the smallest safe pulley size include:
* Stock supercharger's condition: A worn-out supercharger might not tolerate as much stress from a smaller pulley.
* Fuel system limitations: The stock fuel injectors and pump might not be able to deliver enough fuel to support the increased airflow from a smaller pulley and higher boost.
* Ignition system limitations: Similar to the fuel system, the stock ignition system might not be sufficient for the increased power.
* Transmission strength: The automatic transmission might be stressed beyond its design limits with significantly increased power.
Attempting to use a pulley significantly smaller than what's recommended without addressing these potential limitations risks serious and costly damage to your engine. You should consult with a reputable tuner or mechanic specializing in the 1999 Grand Prix GTP supercharged engine before making any pulley changes. They can assess your specific car's condition and recommend the largest safe pulley size for your desired performance gains. They might also suggest other upgrades necessary to support a smaller pulley. Simply trying to install the smallest pulley you can find is strongly discouraged.
