    well, from the two forums (this one and montecarloforum.com) I've checked the mod-guide stickies to, and most of the pulley guides I've seen on the plethora of 3800 performance parts dealers, the 3.2 looked like a safe bet (and I am getting a PCM from overkill, it just wont be specifically tuned to this car for a bit).

    I have a guy with a scanner that I will be checking for KR after everything's installed, but I'm probably going to get one of those setups where I can use my smartphone as a gauge, but that will probably after I upgrade my brakes and do some suspension stuff.

    I just cant decide from what Im reading if I'm still in the 104 range, or if I should go for 103s, my assumption is Im closer to the 103 with this setup.

    If, after everything is installed, I'm getting knock, I'll go ahead and spend the money on a larger pulley.

    Appreciate any input!

    I guess I could say it a third time. I'm going to monitor it, as I have a guy with a scanner, and if I'm getting knock, I'll go up in pulley size.

    That said, I've decided that I'm probably going to throw an IC on it, and use the smallest pulley I can without having to upgrade the TB, MAF, fuel system, or transmission. I already ordered an aeroforce and wideband a/f sensor kit.
