    ok guys heres my question im getting my car tuned by a friend (worked for SLP) and hes going to tune my GTP

    Whats the safest and most efficient shift point to set the car to (RPM)

    and with a custom tune and my car (Headers, 2 range colder plugs, CAI, 180* t-stat) what should be the right pulley to put on. i have a 3.4 but with a custom tune should i o can i go lower?

    Also im new to this what else do custom PCM's do that i should have him do to mine.

    Thank you,
    Frank

    shift at 5800-6k, unless you run a big cam then you can go a little higher. 3.4 will probably be what you want, no one can tell you for sure.

    A smaller pulley will not make you faster, if you can not flow it.

    you might be able to pull it off. some cars take less than others. the only way to know is to try.
