    I was wondering if I have done enough mods for a PCM reprogram yet. Or if it should be done soon.

    So far the list is as follows:

    - Spark Plugs
    - Spark Plug Wires
    - Cold Air Intake
    - Thermostat
    - 3.4" S/C Pulley
    - Just ordered Speed Daddy Headers today
    - and contemplating S/C porting, just timid about drilling into my supercharger..

    If this does qualify, where is the best bang for my buck?

    Thanks

    you should have had a tune before you put on the 3.4" pulley, get those headers on asap and be glade you have not chipped a piston yet.

    BTW, that 4* is probably taking away more power than what the pulley would have added. Any KR is bad, just remember that.

    Alright, I will not drive it until I get the headers then. I wasn't aware! Thanks for the heads up.. If I have done damage it must already be done though.. I have had the pulley on for about a week.

    You can drive it and with only 4* of knock I doubt you hurt anything.

    Oh okay, that brings a lot of relief to me. I will at least drive it easy until I get the headers on then.

    4* on that setup is almost like 8* on a stock setup. The risk is doubled when you start dropping pulley sizes. Cylinder pressures increase etc. Just try to stay out of it, a pulley should have been the last thing you put on.

    I do blower cases for $100 + shipping.

    Alright, perhaps after I get the headers put on, I can do this. I will keep your name in mind.

    Where would you recommend for the PCM reprogram? Best place bang for my buck.

    Atleast you havent been on that pulley for to long. A week could be a killer but not as bad as some and you got the headers on the way. So thats a +

    Shouldn't be too terribly hard to find one at a junkyard, maybe, I hope? haha. I probably couldn't live without mine for too long, have work and school and all.
