    Should i get a reprogrammed PCM if i want to add a 3.5" SC Pulley? Current mods - NGK TR6 colder Plugs, Cold air Intake, Throttle Body Spacer, U-Bend removal, wrapped crossover pipe, 180 degree T-Stat, and next i want the pulley. Any thoughts?
    It's a rude awakening

    well, Im my opinion, you should not drop pulleys without having ported mani's or headers first. For a tune you could get a canned tune or have someone with a tuner tune the car.

    Do you need is subjective. Many guys that have done a good chunk of modding will tell you that the car stock needs a tune. And I'd agree right along with them.

    in red are mods that dont mean a thing and you probably shouldnt have wasted your money on. actually, a throttle body spacer probably hurts more than it helps, get rid of it.

    also, you need more exhaust before you can drop pulleys. think headers or a downpipe at least.
