    so driving today my supercharger belt decides to snap. it has a stock pulley but i have a 3.5" iv been wanting to put on. my mods now are a catless exhaust wi u-bend delete, 180*, CAI, NGK TR55 wi wires. im thinking of going with an intense pcm in the near future but while the belt is off, do you think i would be safe putting the pulley on now?

    its a 'probably not a good idea' no. you wont blow your car up, but it will be better off with the stock pulley for now.

    dont mess with a smaller pulley till u get some more breathing mods. i made that mistake, among others and my motor threw a rod. build ur motor to support more boost, then get the 3.5.

    do lifters do to help kill KR?

    Nothing.

    is a port job?

    is good about a straight pipe to a resonator? Nothing.

    You still need more breathing mods like we told a million times too...but you didn't listen either.

    To the OP: Headers. For the price nowadays you can't beat them. Otherwise...get a PLOG along with the 3" DP/U-Bend Delete combo.

    Depends on how many bolts break. I snapped off both studs going into the mani when I did mine, gotta love Iowa.
