was thinking about going stage 1 but founda used 207mm pulley on fb marketplace with belt only drvien like 1000 miles before he wrecked the car bummer. so if driving normally with 207 mm pulley does the car get to hot? i am between 212 farenheight driving normally and will go to 221 with spirited driving. 116k on original cats. if i go stage 2 plus with 207mm pulley but most of the time i drive normally will my cats go sooner then expected?

I don't have a c7 , I have a b8.5 but am running a 207 with a tune.

If you're driving around normally you'll be fine. IATs won't be a problem

I see youre in florida, from what i've researched you should be at minimum be running larger HX and upgraded pump if youre going that high ratio. You should consider replacement oem intercooler bricks /pcv/ thermostat to avoid most of the common failures. another high mileage maintenance item that can take out your engine is injectors. 034 has said on their live that the catalytic converter failure on stage 2 is a bit exaggerated and realistically if they fail every 100k miles on a highly tuned car that's only 3k'ish annually if you're going to dealership for replacement to pass federal emission. or less than half that much if you just get high flow cat test pipes / high flow cats in your downpipes

i was already a victim of engine failure due to a cloged injecotor and scores cylinder walls on #6 the engine i put on has 52k miles from lifeitmeaudiparts. my cats has 116k not my engine. and yes i have already replaced thermostat, waterpump, pcv and carbon cleaned the engine which it wasnt that bad but i'm ready for stage 2 plus. like i said i want the power to be there when i need it its not going to see redline everyday probaly once a month lol.

I don't rmbr off the top of my head but I can check tomorrow when I drive around. I have an aero force gauge so it'll be easy for me to check real time.

Btw, I mightve missed it, but with the 207, you should have definitely still have an upgraded hx if you don't already have one
