    I think u would atleast need 2 go with headers instead of the plog 4 a smaller pulley and like 2-3 step colder plugs.

    What's your timing look like at WOT? If you're not up close to or at 20*, then you should just add timing to what you have. If you can get 20* of timing at WOT, then dropping a few pulley sizes would be safe.

    FYI, I was running my P-Log on my XP/3.1 setup with no problems. You will probably benefit by switching to headers, though.

    NP. If you have any questions you can't find quick answers to online, feel free to PM me, and I'll try and help. I'm still relatively green with my tuning, but I've made a lot of mistakes and learned a whole lot!

    the only way youll run a 3.2 is on low timing and thats no fun to drive. keep your 3.4 for now.

    but then again, you might have a freak so the only way to know is to try it out and scan.

    How do you like the ZZP shift kit? Everyone's saying go intense but its like $20 vs. $120.

    i had your setup but i had headers, and 42.5's. i was able to tune to 0 knock on the stock cam and valvetrain. however my timing was around 15-16* so it was low enough to be safe... just my $.02
