Thread: 3.4 pulley installed!!!!!

Cant wait to find some ricers on the road.

you need to get a DP/Powerlog or headers, you need a custom tuned PCM(not a zzp pcm) preferably from 3800performance.com(they have the DHP PCM which are rated the most safe off the shelf tune by the people on this site) and you could definitely use an air intake of some sorts. The cat back is a waste of money performance wise until you are making 350 WHP.... the exhaust is the most restrictive in the U bend and then the front manifold after that. The stock cat back is fine, performance wise. you should have read the "safely modding your 3800" thread in the general tech section first. Please read it now if you have not done so.....Good luck

Notice I said ZZP PCM.....Now I have no knock.

yes it will.......just make sure to do something with the stock manifolds before you drop that pulley size and a tune also..

Take off the pulley and put a stock one back on or stay out of the throttle...a T-Stat, Plugs, CAI, & DP are still not enough mods for a 3.4"

LOL @ this thread

this has made my day

actually...i bet you could have tuned it pretty well, but to have NO knock isnt believable. i bet you could get it down to a couple degrees. torque management has a lot to do with knock. until you tell your computer how much torque youre actually making then it just knocks on the big end because its doing that to prevent detonation by itself. i went from 10* to 1* with just tuning alone (on a 3.2 pulley, with the meth turned off [rockers/headers car]).

but on a smaller pulley. you can run a 3.4 almost stock with the right tune and ONE flow mod...or two. (intake/downpipe)

no ****, thats why in my later post I said I have no knock with my new tune.

Yeah, im a little pissy till I get my money back, but reading does wonders too.

did you scan to see if you were knocking?

Having a ZZP PCM and having no knock is kinda like saying "I have genital warts, but I'm not having an outbreak...right now"

FAIL.
