    No way you will run that small of a pulley with those mods. Read the safely modding your 3800 thread.

    i did read it, very good write up.
    only way i am dropping lower the a 3.4 is if and when i get a intercooler.
    i am not sure how much gain a 3.25 pullie is but 500.00 for a use intercooler so u can run it safely isn't that much.

    can i install 3.29 gears with out rebuilding and strengthening the whole tranny??? aprox cost for gear and install??? please.

    or what should i do instead without getting to extreme, would a intercooler and 3.25 pullie drop be best

    with headers and rockers you can easily run a 3.4, maybe even a 3.2 with the right tune (conservative enough).

    with an intercooler i would go straight to a 3.2, maybe a 3.0.
