    I'm just curious to see how long most folks have been able to run a smaller pulley on their GP's.

    Thanks!

    I think some will say they've been running a smaller pulley for so many engines or transmissions

    Nice. That makes me feel better. I'm about inches away from doing my 3.4 swap.

    I had mine on for a long time...granted I didn't have pulley issues I had PCM issues. A properly tuned car will run like a raped ape for a long time. Keep that in mind too...be sure to also get colder plugs when you put that pulley on if your sig is still current.

    Yeah, what all supporting mods do you have for that 3.4, because I don't really see any in your sig. And does that catback include a DP, or no??

    I'm putting on a plog tonight actually and have a 3" ZZP catted DP that will be going on next. Then I'm getting a custom DHP tune, and then the pulley.

    I thought the 605's were colder (1 range colder).....

    Ugh, but those rear plugs are such a royal pain!!! I don't wanna change them again!

    Will I be hurting anything by running 605's?

    Are you getting any KR with the 605's? If not then no you aren't hurting anything, in fact you want to run the hottest plug you can, a colder plug means nothing more than how well the plug is able to dissipate heat from the tip to avoid pre ignition, running a colder plug than necessary will only hurt the engines efficiency and lead to plug fouling.
