    My best advice to you is to read, read, read, read, read, and read some more. Then read again. You need knowledge to do these cars properly. Then get a scanner before you do anything. I know, it sucks because it does not make the car faster. But, you will use it and it will keep you from blowing the damn thing up. There was a previous post that had a basic list to run a 3.4/3.5 pulley SAFELY. You may not need headers. I just installed a PLOG(If you get one, get the stainless steel PLOG) and it helped the top end and lowered my KR to a few blips of 1*. I will end up with headers, I know it, but that is because I want to drop to a 3.25 later on. But as far as the 3.4, What I have to support it is working for me.

    i think when it comes time to do it, ill do headers, dp, ubend delete, and borla or magnaflow exhaust. probably take it to a shop and tell em that and see what they say.

    where can i get a scanner, or is it pretty cheap to just take it to a shop to do it?

    If you get headers, it comes with a DP and thus the u-bend delete.

    You'll want something permanent in your car so you can keep an eye on things. Either an Aeroforce or Scangauge II is the sort of thing you want.

    Hey, Scanguage plugs into the OBDII port above the gas pedal, you just plug it in and a little bit of input from you and thats it.
    It's pretty good and you can move it from one car to another as long as it has the OBDII port, I think everything after 93 has it. Look it up online.

    flip quoted me $80 thats if u supply him with the tails, it all depends on how you want them done too, if he has to use his tails it's something like $200 something for core charge.

    doesn't sound bad for as good as it is supposed to be. i have my own, got the LEDs, wanna make it blend with the black car a little more. how many coats did you get? i'm thinkin 2 or 3 is enough to make it black without being to dark during the day, also still keeping it from being seen thru with lights off.

    Only reason I run a 160* (you might say that is why you don't run one) but I drove my car on the daily...and even with the 160*, sitting in traffic, that thing would still get hot...but when it gets colder outside...I throw the 180* back in...

    I don't consider it hot. I am just stating that I would rather have my car run cooler. My old car used to overheat and well...it sucked ass. I'd just rather be safe than sorry.

    depends how much modding you have done. if youre far into boost and valvetrain mods then it is better for you to just to run an open cone.

    'cold air' is only beneficial for lightly modded cars because of the roots blower that we have.

    Yes, they're 10.4MM. You can go to PRJ's website and he lists the width on there.

    The number is pretty much just a part number. The difference is heat ranges.
