    I am wanting to upgrade my supercharger pulley to a 3.0-3.4 What is something I should know before I do this? New belt needed? Will the smaller pulley put more stress on other parts and cause problems? Which size is recommended?

    Also I am wanting to get an SD RAM AIR HOOD. What is the going price for a paint job on the hood? Powder coating a good idea or bad idea? 3800Performance AmericanSportsCar and PFYC all sell this hood at different prices. Which would be the best or does it not matter? Any input on these questions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    An SD hood is fiberglass so it can't be powdercoated. I picked mine up off of craigslist and have yet to paint it, so I can't help ya there.

    being your in the great stinking st of CA, go check your auto laws. you'll need a some expensive headers due to that carb BS over there. tog, or slp headers are carb compliant.

    and you'll need a tune.

    and my car had kr out the ass with 3.4 rockers and headers. till it was tuned.
