    ANy mods?

    If you are running 104's without mods, those are WAY too cold. Run stocks plugs or AL 606's

    Id go measure the pulley.

    That could be a reason for the hesitation, you get inital boost and then when it figures out its more than it can handle is retards tons of timing so it dont ping itself to death.

    Id try and get a stock pulley back on that thing, so you dont hurt it.

    No rush on going to the yard, you can just PM me if you have luck when you do go.

    Need to scan it.
    Pay attention to EGR percent.
    Check to make sure the mass airflow sensor (MAF) is clean and plugged in.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    EGR% at idle should be 0%. 0% = closed. Anything more is a vacuum leak. It should only be open at cruise... like somewhere around 25% throttle. The more it's open, the more your engine will sound like a funny car at idle or low rpms.

    What I said is still right, I just said it backwards, 100% off is still 0% open, not meaning to confuse, hopefully people are smart enough to understand.
