    Hello.

    Bigger pulley, more timing I think will be better than a 2.75.

    Also, MSD coils are complete junk, there will be a day when you figure it out for yourself.

    And 4T65e HD, :P

    Also why are you not running a wideband o2 sensor?

    Its a must at your mod level, a narrrow band a/f gauge is nothing but a light show.

    That actually looks quite small.
    And OP, why is that spark plug wire ran around the oil neck? And a 2.7 on a GenV? Whats your timing at? You should be at 300+whp with that list. And where's the STB brace?

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    well i screwed up today lol. i went to install wideband and realized my father borrowed the jack to go up north to work on grams car. so i had to go to a friends to do it. so i head over i hooked up the scanmaster obd2 thing. and i got on it and car pulled good didnt say it was knocking. so i stopped got gas. and hit the highway. i got on it alittle on highway and instant knock 8 counts so i was confused and figured hmm maybe to much boost. ill just put a bigger pullie on it and see what happens. so i got there went to put in wideband and theres no rear o2 bung so i got to get one welded in. got home and thought about why it was knocking. and realized i put 87 oct in it this morning so now i got to drive it around and just waste the fuel and then see whats up with car once i get a solid half tank of 93 running threw the car.

    ok so i got the check engine light codes today looked at.

    p0121 tps
    p0140 02 - the rear one was taken off the car.
    p0300 - random misfire

    so i guess maybe the tps is bad or just not set right going to look at that tomorrow.
    next is misfire. what plugs on my setup should be in the car? what gap?
    and could it be these msd coils? was told in post 2 there crap.
