oh yeah because so many guys are slapping on 3.4's out there with no knock..

iv'e only heard of maybe a small handful of guys are running 3.4's without the proper mods and no knock...

new question, are you, grand2000prixgtp of the one in a million guys running that setup knock free?

Behold he has 2*'s of knock...

2* isn't that bad, headers should clear that right up keep an eye out in the for-sale sections, ive seen really good deals on headers there.

Well I made my point. 2* of knock does not justify telling him to go back to a stock pulley when he was asking peoples thoughts on headers?

Reason being is for some freak reason it can happen to damage the motor...or not...who knows...IMO skip the damned a little knock is ok. NO KNOCK IS GOOD. Period. I don't care if you have a half of a degree, or two tenths of a degree...its a half degree or two tenths too much and is still taking power from you, even if it is a hair on your ass sized amount. I'd rather be safe than sorry...and trust me man, I've been through enough motors to find out.

Yup...ZZP bullsh*ts around saying that you get 18 more HP or something like that with their design...BWHAHAHA...yeah f'ing right...poser.

Forgot to metion its a 05 Comp G

Catback is fine stock unless you go some crazy ass blower build or turbo it...get a set of catted headers (they come with the downpipe and u-bend delete)...I say Pacesetter's but no one likes them but me or gotboost...but ask him once he had them welded like mine how awesome they are.

Well...your lucky IMO...most people would love to get away with something like that...how does your car do in hot weather?

Yup...pretty much paying for a name brand...hence why I used to buy my Nike shoes from the Illegal immigrants at the market...knock offs but got the job done

Yeah, for every degree of KR the rule of thumb is you are losing 5-7 crank HP...so you are seeing about 10-14 HP loss at WOT IMO...just get some headers and call it good and run knock free
