I agree 100% with what you are saying. But do you realistically, think that people asking "can i run a 3.4 with my mods and no Kr" and "is the u-bend before or after the cat" are going to spend $400+ [$600 for a HP] on a tuner just to see results after they learn how to use it flawlessly? [No offense to said posters, ya gotta learn sometime]. Learning a tuner, correctly, takes more time then people care to spend, the appeal of instant gratification is too great.

People want cheep easy mods for their car. Parts less then $100 that they have to remove/replace a few bolts to put on. You can tell people on here till you are blue in the face to buy a tuner and learn how to use it but they rarely will. Dropping pulleys sounds too appealing to reason with for some. Best you can do is list sporting mods to combat the inevitable Kr that will come with a 3.4. As i said in my first post , no way hes running 3.4 with his mods and no kr.

We i did quote you, which wasn't me attacking you (sorry if it seemed that way) but I just can't stand people that think pulley's make hp. The stuff you listed is just not enough. The vendors imo are wrong, i don't care how long they've been in the game their "safe" setups aren't safe at all. 90% of people that follow their stupid guidelines have at least one post each asking about how to get rid of their kr.

Minimal you need, intake, headers, rockers/cam, to run a 3.4 pulley efficiently. If those were the supporting mods and that car was running a 3.4 pulley the mail order tune could be way more aggressive and actually make a difference. But no the vendors refuse to change their list of "safe supporting mods" because they keep assuming that people following this stuff know what they're doing. IMO they just do that so you come back and buy more **** you don't need (i.e. headers after ordering a plog and dp because they're better, or a 3.6 pulley because the 3.4 you just bought is to small) to replace the stuff you already bought.

It's bullcrap, too many people are mislead to this and after they purchase what they think is enough to run a 3.4 pulley setup they find out now they need even more stuff to keep their car free of engine damaging kr. I just don't get it, i see it over and over and over and nobody does anything about it. I'm only 1 person, there's only so much i can do to help prevent this ya know? I also hate the tards that say its ok.... AHH!! It's not ok, if you don't have a correct answer to give someone DON'T GIVE IT. This guy is asking because he doesn't know, then you idiots tell him it's ok so he assumes its ok and does it. Sure enough he'll post up sooner or later wondering why his car is so slow. It's because of you morons, shut up if you don't know what you're talking about. If you think you know what you're talking about then you would have told him that wouldn't work instead of "sounds ok to me" yea i'm talking to you people...
