You don't need a Intercooler to safely run a 3.4" pulley...and rockers...rockers would cause more KR IMO because they let the car breathe more, thus needing more exhaust work.

Is the manifold a ***** to do or no?

If they don't have any knowledge or experience tuning the 3800 platform then don't go to them. Get a DHP 1.0 PCM (3800 Performance). Best mail order tune out there...DHP's are the best and have always been the best. Proved that when I couldn't break 14.2 with a ZZP PCM and ran a 13.8 with my DHP. And the manifold is easy...just get some PB Blaster and let it sit on there for awhile so your don't rape your hands breaking the exhaust bolts.

I said if he planned on going beyond the 3.4 he should get these along with the exhaust mods. If staying on 3.4 he should get the exhaust mods first and then the rockers and/or intercooler if you want at that point(big step in money right here)

please get a custom tune. dont ruin the true potential of your mods with an off the shelf tune. ive had both and trust me a custom tune is at last twice as good as a shelf tune.
