0.55 is fine. And no it will not kill any KR. but if you go much smaller with that pulley it will kill your idle quality as well as a cupple other things

can i run a .60 gap? because when i floor it its like it studders and bogs down real hard it doesnt pull....is that instant burst knock?
08-07-2009
You may be able to get away with .060 Maybe some other issue? Do you have any way to scan by chance?
08-07-2009
yeah im knockin like a woodpecker on crack! haha in need of a tune.....would you say i should rock no sc belt for now so i dont pop a piston? as long as i stay out of boost in upper rpms and i dont blip the throttle i dont knock .....hey another issue i noticed i knock ALOT on the highway and in bigger numbers why is this?

More heat. Plain and simple.

leave the belt on. drive like a grandma. no one told you to put that 3.4 on.
also, resize your signature...

sorry to rob the thread, what are stock plugs supposed to be gapped at?
08-08-2009
.065
08-08-2009
It is more than likley because your TCC is not unlocking or is locked up.Which can easily be changed if you had a tuner. That is most peoples issue when on the highway and they getlarge amounts of KR.Originally Posted by gotboost3

well i dont know what it is but as time goes on im knocking less....weird
08-09-2009
cars run the fastest right before they blow up.
you need a tune right now.

Actully i think its .060 from the factory, i'm almost 100% sure about that.
As for gapping down or up, you won't gain anything either way KR wise, I promise you. I had a very similar setup to yours years ago and I tried several different plug types and gaps (gapped from .045-.070 anf used NGKs, AC/Delcos, Autolites) and what worked best for me and lasted without a doubt was Autolite 104s @ .054 (.001 don't make a difference, my tool was set up for this) was the best.
Don't waste your time on the plugs like I did, You need to look elsewhere man...

Like..... an intercooler.
08-09-2009
Honestly your setup is dying for an Intercooler or Alky. And when I say intercooler (like i've stated 100 times) I mean an INTERCOOLER, not some SS IC unefficent POS. If you want to go with that junk you'd be better off just going with Alky and you'd be better off in the end, just being honest.
Look into a full sized IC, a good FMHE, Reservoir setup, 3/4" lines, and a good quailty pump (GM) and you'll have an efficent enough IC to run a 3.0" easily with no knock after you retune. Pending you're car, you may need Autolite 103s too. Ever car is different...

And just to clarify, i wasnt trying to sell an i/c. I know some smartass is gonna chime in and say something dumb soon about me.
08-09-2009
You and or TDC would be the men I'd buy one from though, you can supply him with good fullsized IC now, can't ya?
08-09-2009
Yea i could, dont know if you saw the thread where i got bashed for taking a little longer than expected on one.
08-09-2009
oh really? Well IMO, you can't rush quaility, right? Can't wait to see your newest version...
08-10-2009
I saw that thread and read the whole thing.........lets just keep it in that thread.......better off for everyone for now. I am personally a ways away from being able to afford the IC setup.....I would love one though.
