you have enough mods to run the 3.4 with low timing, or a 3.6 with higher timing. its really a trade off that youll have to make for yourself. my car felt like a monster in mid range because i was still pushing 24* of timing, but once i went WOT and it dropped down to 14* then it didnt feel as fast (this was on the 3.2 pulley making about 12 psi). more timing will make the quick, neck snapping car we all like. more boost will make the car more fluid and seem to fall on its face even when its not.
