    Im going to have headers installed, and was thinking that while i have it at prj performance, I was thinking about getting it tuned for the 3.4 pulley that i have on there right now. Would you think there would be a noticeable difference if i got it tuned after i got the headers on or would i just be feeling the headers and not the tune..... Thanks!

    ummm, dont beat on your car till you get the headers on.

    get paul to tune your car when you're there. Make sure thats done after the header install.

    What plugs are you running?

    What are your other mods? Tune after headers though, no use in tuning without getting their full benefit.

    i no ima dumba$$ but i bought the car with the 3.4 on with a c.a.i. and slp cat back. Sounds like **** IMHO but i dont beat on my car knowing what can happen and seeing pictures. I have 104's and a 180 degree t-stat. I was just wondering about the tune because i only have one day to spend at the shop cause i live far away and i dont no if he could get it done in one day. I no itll be running better but would i feel it in the butt dyno?

    At least with your current mods you aren't that bad off with that pulley. Put the headers on then you should be able to run that pulley no problem, especially with a tune.

    And since you don't like the sound sell the catback and get a stock one, they are good for making power for a while.

    This is a good deal. I'm running a GXP cat-back on my car with Pacesetters and it sounds GOOD. Understated yet rumbly
