    Aight car guys...The newly top-swapped GT on a 3.4 pulley and headers running 93 read 6 deg. knock at WOT tuners for some reason wouldn't read RPM, Boost, A/F, gear, trans temp, and injector pulse width. Other than at WOT, she runs fine. Were thinking is has something to do with Air/Fuel, but not sure on anything yet.....ANY IDEAS????????

    Also an S2IC kit it attached but not running yet, waiting on a IC pump to come in the mail.

    headers arent even enough for a 3.4 on a LOW comp block.

    I had a 3.6, but we couldnt get the dam belt over the pulley, thought it says a 685 should fit over a 3.6

    the intercooler should let you run a 3.4, but you most likely have almost ruined it by running without coolant in it. Those cores are not designed to handle the 300+ degree temps that the blower outputs.

    Ouch, never go WOT without an intercooler pump going. Not good. Who did the tuning? hit up Zach Brunsink on my facebook, he did the tuning on my IC set up and I run a 2.8 with my XP cam and see 0 knock and she runs damn good.

    then don't worry about it.

    but ask yourself what's the point of even having the top swap if not using the power.
