    if you want to drop a pulley size, i would install headers first for sure. headers are pretty much the best starting mod if you want to start dropping pulleys

    104's are to cold on a stock car. You should have 606's or 605's

    Needs flow before pulley drops.

    And having the abilty to scan before said pully drop.

    Because, just because the car can flow the air, dont mean its running correctly.

    I have a code reader that also does some data streaming.. And the car had that exhaust job when I bought it yes the u bend is gone.. And the reason I bought those plugs is cause I plan on doing the pulley soon

    What pulley do you plan on dropping to and what are you using to scan for KR?

    I'm pretty sure my little scanner/code reader will monitor the kr and I was thinking I'll order a PCM and a 3.5 pulley

    What scanner do you have? Mine didn't read kr and it was kinda pricey.

    Idk I'll check and see if It will all I know is I had a buddy with a gtp a few years ago and it had 200,000 miles and all he did was exhaust no headers and a cold air and ran a pretty small pulley and he did 5 miles long wide open throttle runs with no problems we topped it out at 151 that's what the heads up display said at least

    You've got some learning to do before you drop a pulley size.

    Yeah I know I have a lot of learning to do... And now my low coolant light keeps coming on and off but the bottle is still full.. Is this normal I had a Buick regal that did the same and they said it was common on them.. So I just disconnected it if I remember right
