    You could go 3.4 without a wideband. But with the correct mods you're talking a 25% increase in power from stock. That needs to be accounted for and monitored in some way.

    Cold air intake or Fenderwell intake, and 1.9 Rockers+LS6/L76 springs.

    Or a cam if you want to go that way instead of rockers.

    That's what your high and low octane spark tables should look like before changing pullies. You want to go to engine-spark-advance to find that table.

    Something to do.



    Car doesnt like 17* up top.

    Stepping down to a 3.6 because it seems KR is there no matter what I do.

    I'd go to the 3.6 and see how it is when you retune it. Mine responded better with 19* on a 3.1" than 14* on a 2.9". What are your afr's at?

    11.0 flat.

    To the OP, get a wideband.

    Aim for 11.2 AFR and get it as flat as possible.

    Then focus on timing.

    Timing M90 car > Smaller pulley M90 car...proven as the smaller pulley gives you more low end TQ. but the timing give you the top end...which these cars lack in the first place...

    I just can't understand why your car doesn't allow more timing with only a 3.4" with a full-size IC and headers...

    To be fair, the boost levels are kinda high.

    7/7.5 to 9.5/10 on the 3.4

    5.5/6 to 8/8.5 on the 3.6
