So what you are saying is that there isnt a reason to swap to a gen v n* lq4 and i wont feel a "difference" just more "whine" unless i drop lower pullies?

That's what he's saying... It's more practical to swap once you've droped pulley size considerably.

3.8" GenV = 3.6" GenIII

As for the N* LQ4 combo, I have it on my car. Throttle response is noticable, but it wears my leg out because it's a loose throttle.. LOL I feel myself holding my foot up if that makes sense...

What other mods do you have already?

3.4 pulley sd headers exhaust 105# springs xp cam single rollermaster chain intake tune could get gains dropping to a 3.2 3.0 for the gen v n* lq4 setup?

If your throttle is mushy, just add another spring to the TB.

As far as switching to a genV in general, it's not gonna hurt anything, but its not gonna help much either as you would need to run ~3.6 since you have a 3.4 on a genIII. A genV swap is not like putting on headers or a cam in regards to a set hp gain. Same with the TB, you wont gain X amount of hp by just slapping on a bigger one. You might feel a difference in "throttle response" (even though you aren really improving it with a N*, it just seems like it with the blade opening quicker than stock). When I went genV i switched TBs as well simply because it was easier to install than messing with the other adapter stuff at the time.

What i need to run lower pullies? i thought that setup would be enough Could i do e85? Are my injectors maxed out to go to 42lbs? Ive seen similar builds thats why i asked
