3.4 setup questions.

[Perry125]

Ok point taken, thanks everyone.

I dont drive it more than 50 miles a week, and ill be sure not to floor it or anything, that way it doesnt go above stock boost levels.

I dont know why i thought changing plugs was that hard.. i guess becuase you have to rock the engine forward to do so.

So if you had $325 more to spend to complete my setup would that be enough with used parts? and how would you spend it?

My list is like such

-used plog $100
-intense pcm $100
-plugs
-t stat
-dhp tuner?

I think i am learning! thanks

If you are going with a "canned" tune, look into getting the tune from 3800performance. This is a DHP tune, which is known to be the safest tune off the shelf. I have heard complaints and blown motors from every other company out there except for DHP. The tune also changes shift points and other things for your car to make it run faster and safer. If you are going to get a plog, see if you can get a stainless steel one. There were some issues with the regular plog cracking. I have only heard of one SS plog cracking. You can buy them new for 180 @ zzperformance. I would definitely get a canned tune(even if you cant scan this will get you safer than what you are now by far-you and your dad have been very lucky up to this time) and get the plugs(cheapest way to kill some of the KR) and thermostat. If you have enough money get the plog as well, if not start saving until you can get one. This should buy you some time until you can afford a powertuner or aeroforce to see where you actually are. As is you and your father are driving time bombs...you either hardly step on them much or are lucky as hell. If it is just luck, go buy a lottery ticket and split it with me. Anyway....good luck. If you are going to go with a standard plog you can buy them new for 4120....and do not wrap them or get them with ceramic coating as this leaves them more prone to cracking.
