    Just finished my rocker swap yesterday. Mods are in my sig. Now with 1.9s, wondering which size pulley I should purchase and try next? Currently running a 3.3 with no knock.

    I am thinking dropping to a 3.1? maybe a 3.0?

    Let me know!

    Gotta love that e85 for a knock killer. Didn't notice that in your sig at first and was like why no knock?? Then I saw the magical corn. I was able to drop .2 with 1.9.. So I would try the 3.1 first.. 3.0 is probably pushing it. but I'm no expert. But thats a pretty good guess I'd imagine. Gonna be at the edge of your limit with the stock pump and corn pretty soon as well

    Need to find a damn suv quick tired of sharing my car with my wife and since were down to one vehicle at the moment i put it back on gas. 3.4 seems so gutless compared to 2.8 ..........

    As for the op i bet you could do 3.0.

    Edit yea for the mileage back up to around 25/26 mixed highway/city driving.

    Gotcha gotcha.. yeah, the mileage definitely takes some getting used to. definitely have to plan out my trips a bit more and make sure I have a backup plan!

    I'll get a new pulley here soon and update this thread with how it went. Curious to see how it will feel after this rocker install and pulley drop

    Wonder what kind of times it can do now???!!
