That typically changes boost levels and supporting requirements (fueling, cooling, and tuning), which is why the episode discusses pulley changes and detuning.","simplifiedExplanation":"This means the supercharger isn’t the original factory one. Upgrading it usually makes more power, but it also means you have to tune the car and sometimes change other parts to keep it reliable and drivable."}},{"startTime":766.6,"endTime":771.2,"type":"term","title":"bigger pulley","url":"/glossary/bigger-pulley","quote":"...they had to put a bigger pulley on it, detune it, make this galaxy drivable.","canonicalId":"term:bigger-pulley","priority":0.7,"confidence":0.78,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"On many supercharged setups, a smaller supercharger pulley spins the blower faster (more boost), while a bigger pulley slows it down.
