    Got headers?

    Or flow mods?

    If not...keep the stock pulley guy.

    Probably to a 3.25" or lower...

    But you will NEED a tune at that point.

    A canned tune isn't best for a cam setup...have you checked for any local tuners in Tenn.?

    I'm sure there are some.

    i just changed the lim gasket about a month ago and looked at the valves as best as i could they didnt seem to have much build up on them... the sc rotors could probably use a good recoating... its gonna need wheel bearings soon... trans fluid is always a very nice red color, oil drain plug has minimal to no shavings on it at oil changes... acceleration was better before the headers and exhaust but i was expecting that due to loss in back pressure... and itll still get up to 126mph (governor) no problem...
