its around 400 bucks the first time and cheaper every time after

Something must had been wrong with your filter then...

Well it was the cheap one from auto zone, i learned my lesson on cheap item

anywaaaayyyss . . . wat do u think about high stall torque convertors????? not entirely clear on thoose......

they are a rip off....the stock converter has a pretty high stall

you also wouldnt want to drive a car with a high stall on the street everyday.

Just get a tune and drop a pulley. \ Thread.

Drop to a 3.6 pulley. Get a overkill tune. Or, buy a intercooler, cam, drop to a 2.8 and then get a tune. The second option is much more fun.

from wat i heard i can run a 3.4 because i have headers. but the second is alot of work. an intercooler and especially a cam is hard work.

hmm with my mods i would say it definately pulls me back in my seat. and your mods are similiar to mine just more dangerous because you don't have supporting mods. If your sig is correct and your running a 2.8 pulley on a stock computer with stock plugs and wires you better start saving for a new motor. If you do get a dyno tune let us know how much of a difference you notice. At least I'm interested.

the o4+ cars are more prone to kr (because of the more efficient blower i think.)

but anyways i dont think its quite safe to run a 3.4 on it, you may have read something saying its safe for a 97-03, which is inapplicable to you.

im not too sure but id try and find out before you slap the 3.4 on there

It's actually the other way around. The 04+ blowers are ported way more and provide a better airflow overall which actually decreases KR. That's why porting a 04+ blower is kind of pointless. But even still, I wouldn't run that set up for a second especially if it's a daily driver. To all his own I suppose

^ o alright i understand, i was looking at it from a different angle, thanks for the clarity

The gen v moves more air with a larger pulley. Dropping to a smaller pulley creates more kr then on a gen III.

which is why when you topswap the higher compression engine, its better to to the genIII so you dnt have to worry about blowing anything up? or am i just talking out my a$$

Gen V is always the better choice you just need more flow mods.

Are you retarded more air flow=more boost=KR

more ability to flow = less boost = less KR

you lose.

awesome, thanks for the info

this thread is so contradictory, im just not going to pay attention to it.
