best to pulley up if you're currently running the 3.25 as u still have stock manifolds. the front manifold, specifically, is the bottleneck/restriction.

i have a stainless powerlog if you are interested. i told you a while back your mods were not enough for your pulley size. do you have rockers or anything else?
10-01-2008
no i dont have rockers yet...the car had the 3.25 on it when i bought it.I would have had no clue if it wasnt for GPF that wasnt good...how much u want for powerlog?Should i go with a 3.4? I just want my ride to be correct.

every car is different, i run a 3.4 with rockers, DP, etc...i am adding my N* tb and headers and dropping to a 3.25 this week, i still have to hook up my intercooler. im running a L36 block so i dont need the crazy amounts of boost. gimme 150$ for the log, ill take pics if you want

take some pics when u get time...im not 100% sure when ill b able to get the money together...with powerlog in ur opinion will i b ok with my 3.25? what are your plans for the 3.4 u have?

its a SSM90 pulley so its useless on your car

Not QwikGT's, but in the mean time here's the part he's talking about:

Even with the powerlog and your current mods you still might not even be able to run a 3.4" pulley let alone a 3.25". Definitely up pulley sizes, that 3.25" is WAY WAY to small. If I were you I'd invest in a scanner so you can determine what size pulley to run.

this is my suggestion, pulley up to a 3.4, then get either of the following items or all of them:
-scanner to scan knock plus other nifty stuff
-tuner-HP Tuner, DHP PT, Custom Tuned PCM, DHP PCM, or AFC 2.2
-Front Power Log

Thanks for all the input guys...This is my first forced induction car...most of the stuff came on the car when i bought it...I guess ill just b easy on the throttle til i can get all these kinks worked out.

you can also unplug the boost bypass valve connector thats near it to limit boost to 4psi if u dont have the 3.4" pulley yet. grant it, it'll be slower than a stock gtp by slightly ^_^;
10-02-2008
hes problew not much faster than a stock gtp right now with all the knock hes problew getting :/

Theres really no way to tell without scanning...the cars are all different and react different to mods. One could run a 3.4 with x amount of mods and be fine while the other one with the same setup will not be ok...It greatly depends on the tune. In other words it helps a lot. But you have to do it the rightway. Not run a smaller pulley than you should and just give it more fuel.
But to answer your queston with the mods in your sig I ould go to a 3.8...wich is stock

thanks man... 3.8 installed 30 minutes ago

congrats. you made a good desision. it may seem slower and probably is a little bit but you're doing yourself asnd car a favor. Do it the right way....I almost went about things the wrong way but a cupple people changed my mind.
now like he said get a scanner and a tuner...you may come out better getting a tuner since it includes a scanner. I will personnally walk you through everything if you decide to go that route. And theres a lot of other people on here willing to help also.
10-03-2008
how much am i gonna be looking at to get a decent one? ok to go the used route or buy new one? what brand would be recommended?
