    So I thought I was all set, got a set of headers, 180 thermo, colder plugs, Intense PCM, all to run a 3.4" pulley. I'm on zzp ordering and they're saying open cone intakes, which I'm currently running, need one size bigger. Do I really need a 3.5" I've never read this anywhere else.

    Rely on intense-racing for accurate info and far better customer service. ZZP makes some decent products too bad most cant say the same about their customer service.

    Actually the SLP car had a SLP Intake, SLP 1.8 Roller Rockers, SLP Catback, and a 3.5" Pulley from the factory for the Stage 3 car...so it isn't that bad.

    True but do you think that a completely factory car... minus the classic open cone intake would be capable of handling a 3.5 pulley? that's 3/10s of an inch smaller than stock and 1/10 more in tiny-ness is capable of blowing your engine...

    Not trying to start an arguement or anything, zzp just list the 3.5 as being able to be put on a completely stock car, but we know a 3.4 without the supporting mods will blow your engine... not good guidelines in my book
