    Don't forget a tune.

    Brandon's GP on a 3.4 had all of these and was still only managing 8* timing on the stock tune.

    Needless to say it was slow as balls.


    I was able to get his to 13* and 1-2* blips of KR mostly at the shift by tuning it while maintaining an AFR of approx 11:1
    with ambient temps in the low-mid 50's

    High timing will require valvetrain mods or stupid rich AFR. No way around it.

    Did a few 0-100 pulls and im pretty confident it will run high 13's-14 flat with a good launch.

    He had a 3.4 and a 3.8, lol.

    I could have gotten his 3.8 pulley to 18* dead easy.

    But hey......BOOST > TIMING LULZ.

    Ask brandon what happens when you try to run a 3.4 pulley on a stock tune with ONLY headers.

    car is as slow as on stock pulley is what happens.

    at minimum a tune, headers, intake.....and you wont be running very much timing without dumping a **** ton of fuel to compensate.

    i'd say add rockers/springs to the list and you will have a solid 250whp setup.

    lowering pulley gives you alot worse gas mileage? or only worse when you stomp on the pedal?
