pulley question

[01silverbullet]

so i have a 2001 gtp with just slp mufflers and a CAI. I recently picked up a 3.4 pulley for free and was wondering if it would work on my setup the way it is?

If not what else will i need for me to be able to run it safely?

It will tell you what you wanna know.
like get headers and tune and other junk.

i understand that my first post shouldnt be a help question but i just need to know how risky it would be for me to run this pulley on just a CAI. and ill prolly go to a 180 thermosate too

If you like Chipped pistons you will love the 3.4.

You need more mods.

very...it will probably end with chipped pistons.

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

if you ran the 3.4 with only the cai, bad things will come your way.

like stated above, you will knock and BOOM go;s ur motor.

ive never modded a gtp only a mustang. what mods will i need? i tried reading the link but im a terrible reader....

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

headers, tune, plugs

[PurpleGuy]

Unless you want your pistons to end up like this then get supporting mods...picture courtesy of bluegtp91

headers, tune, plugs

also a 180 t-stat.

terrible reader? either you are legitimately illiterate or incredibly lazy and wanting us to do the work for you. It's listed there in easy bullets. Can we get this thread closed?

i am about 5 seconds away from editing the thread myself to take out that 180* thermostat bull****.

[blueguy]

Picture is ACTUALLY from SWASH...I never chipped multiple pistons...just the typical #3...he beat me there that over achiever

And guy...if you want a run a 3.4"...I say go for it...but don't come back here crying when your wondering why your car is on the back of a tow truck needing a new motor...we will just say "told ya so"...

...jeeves.

whats wrong with a thermo? Plugs and tune werer listed...doesnt a thermo go along with those?

[Bio248]

tell me why you'd want a 180* thermostat. because you want to lose MPG? because you want to put extra wear on the motor? because the car is faster or has less knock with it (it really doesn't, for real)?

its a useless mod that the old school guys had to do because they had no way of tuning for their mods so they had to do things like run colder thermostats, really cold spark plugs, scale MAF frequencies, and run high octane in order to run fast. its old technology and in the modern car world its' really lost its place.

hmmm...this is the first ive heard of this...thanks.

I don't know how many times I've said "lower degree thermostats are useless." And yet when I say it, it's wrong.

Don't worry, I get that a lot too. Right up there with saying spending $600 on that electric water pump setup.
