Do you still have the pulley puller for sale? Also is there some sort of clip or retainer on the backside of a stock pulley that needs to be removed before removing pulley? Thanks.

This a newb question, but were is the plog located?

**ZR1Vette09** · 01-19-2010

PLOG is the front exhaust manifold.

skip the plog and go straight to headers if your going to mod more.

Agreed. I have a P-Log setup, but wish I had just started off with headers. Even though the P-Log is very well designed, it still has to function like the factory exhaust. Headers will be a great investment if you even think you might want to mod past a basic 3.4 setup. Trust me, I am wishing I had bought headers a long time ago.

I would get headers, but I am only looking to to a basic 3.4 setup because I am saving up for a gto

Better idea:

Skip the mods and buy the GTO...
Depending on which series LS, you can run high 13's stock. Not going to be as easy with a GTP.

My $.02 are in

It's a shame I don't have headers on the way, or I'd offer to sell you my exhaust setup...

**BwolfGT** · 01-22-2010

Headers are the best, I'm going dp/pl just because I'm gettng a 3" DP for free.

I just got the plog and I am gonna try to install it this week. I hope I can do it haha since i have no past experience modding. Also is there a how to thread on how to install one so I can have a guide line?

Well look at the front manifold. If you can figure out how to get it off you can reverse the process to get the Plog on. Its just nuts and bolts. About 8 of them. Pretty easy stuff man.

not a fan of GTO's or GT Slo's, they look like foreign cars, almost like a BMW, not like a sports car, but that's just one guys opinion.

That's because they are foreign cars. Ever heard of Holden?

I don't know about any of you that have swapped pulleys but mine was a pain in the butt! I had the right puller/installer from "Pulley Boys" and it would of been easier to remove the snorkel and use my shop press. I measured the diameter of the shaft and the inside diameter of the removed stock pulley and the pulley was almost .0025" smaller. I've read a couple of other stories of a hard removal. I heated with a propane torch while dribbling water over the seal area of the shaft and it was still a rough removal. This totally destroys the stock pulley in the process, for what it's worth.
My S/C snorkel seal started leaking a couple weeks later and I ended up rebuilding the snorkel with upgraded seal and coupler and used ceramic bearings which supposedly run 30% cooler. The moral of my story is; it might be worth removing the snorkel to install the new pulley and upgrade the coupler while it's off.
I purchased "Pulley Boys" quick-change pulley system and I love it. You can purchase different size pulleys as you continue to mod and it only takes 20 minutes to change pulleys. The puller is $135 and you need to use it if your not using a shop press with the snorkel removed.
