So I was wondering if you guys had any opinions on what I should upgrade next? I have a k&n air intake, msd ign. coils, and slp head to tail. Any ideas?

Sell the K&N intake and buy a Thrasher, Wizaired, or build a Fender Well Intake.

Ya the K&N intake is just about the worst CAI out there, hate to break it to ya.
11-18-2008
I didn't want to admit it at first but the K&N intake is horrible. Its expensive too!!
11-18-2008
Ya I've seen several people post up scans with over 100* intake temps on around 60* days and both of them had the K&N CAI.
11-18-2008
I think I will switch it out and get the Wizaired CAI, then a new throttle body, then probably a pulley or two. The 2004+ GP's have the MAF sensor separate from the throttle body right?

What your mod list? I wouldn't start dropping pulley sizes until you have some decent exhaust mods, especially on a L32.Originally Posted by 04gpking85

My mod is K&N air intake, msd ignition coils, slp head to tail(headers, downpipe, high flo cat, cat back exhaust) and overkill pcm.

Looks like your good on exhaust mods, definitely look into getting a different intake and dropping pulley sizes.
11-19-2008
Yeah I'm not sure what pulleys to start with, I'll have to do some research
11-20-2008
As I was reading this...I got kinda lost...isn't this the section for LQ1 motors...like the DOHC ones...not the Supercharged 3800? Just thinkin' this might be in the wrong place idk...Last time I checked though that 3.4 Dual Cam never had the option to drop a pulley size LOL
11-20-2008
Actually mine is the 3.8L Non supercharged, I have posted in the wrong section though oops.
11-20-2008
Oh your not supercharged? Then the whole dropping pulley sizes really doesn't apply to you lol. Personally if I were you I'd consider doing a top swap for your next mod, you would really benefit from it seeing as you have higher compression from the L26 and you already have a good amount of supporting mods for a slightly smaller pulley.

Can't drop SC pulley sizes on an engine with no SC.
11-20-2008
What is a top swap? Sorry but I don't know the terminology yet. So I was looking at putting in a water pump pulley and an under drive pulley from ZZP, good idea? Also why is the wizaired cai better then the k&n cai?
11-20-2008
Not sure why this isn't stickied yet....

A top swap is basically the addition of a supercharger, go to that link that Sabrewings posted and it should explain everything. The Wizaired CAI is better cause it actually draws in cold air as opposed to the K&N CAI which, contradictory to it's name, doesn't.

So would getting aftermarket pulleys be a good idea?
11-22-2008
yea you didnt need the coils either, the stock ones are just as good if not better
11-22-2008
They really aren't going to do much for you, like at all. If you don't plan on going SC then maybe look into getting a HV3 from ZZP.
