I have an 05 with a catback and a CAI what is the smallest pully i can get? i may also get headers, so please tell me the smallest pully i can get now and the smallest i could get if i got headers, thank you :):th_sign-pontiacs:
 


Nothing yet...you need more to help handle the extra heat generated. Spark plugs at least, 180* therm, tune. There's more I think but I forget.

I'd say colder plugs, a good PCM tune, and a scanner of some sort to watch KR. From there if you're at 0 KR think about a pulley, if not (which I doubt you will be) get headers. From there you should be ready. Since your running a GenV, i'd get an MPS and start at a 3.5 and go from there.

BTW, don't waste your money on P-logs and DPs unless you're planning on a turbo in the future. Either get headers (which most have a DP to bolt on to your existing catback) or go home IMO.
 
I forgot to say that i changed my plugs and got colder ones.
I have had people tell me that I would be fine with a 3.4 pully, but after hearing what you people have told me I am no where near ready. but what about 3.7 or 3.6 pullys?
 
If you get a MPS then a 3.6 shouldnt be an issue IMO...I do know that I had a 3.5" with a T-Stat, plugs, 3" exhaust (no cat, res. or u-bend, stock DP), CAI, and PCM and I still had KR. Dropped to a 3.4, got PEM's and a DP and 1.84's and a new tune. No KR :D So it all depends. I would still get a 180*, DP, and AT LEAST a PEM (front).

Then I'd say scan, scan, scan, and drop to a 3.5 or 3.4...

what is IMO and PEM?
 
IMO = in my opinion

PEM = ported exhaust manifold

just get a set of headers, they are getting retarded cheap now.
 


no they are nor SLP but the are the same size and stainless steel *shiny :)* and they look like they have the same form as SLP.
