Can I run a 3.2" pulley?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to run a 3.2" pulley without an intercooler? If so, what mods would I need assuming I have the basic core modifications? Also, same question goes for 3.3" pulley. Thanks.
 


E85, or a cam. (or both) Im planning on running a 3.2 if i can after my XP install,so i hope it will be enough.lol
 
Its a fuel thats 85 percent (roughly) ethanol and 15 percent gas.Its like high octane race gas, reduces knock by heaps when its done correctly.You need bigger injectors and a tune to run it.And a gas station that will sell it.But its much cheaper than race gas.
 
Ok thanks for the info. I've never heard of E85 until now. I read on a couple websites 3.2" is possible with an XP cam and all mods for a 3.4". Do you agree with this?
 


why a 3.2?

Yes it is possible without an IC. A good cam setup and tune on 93 should get you knock free. Or E85.

It's better to match the pulley to the upgrades than the other way around.
 
I cant say yes for 100 percent because i havent done it yet,But i do believe its doable.Like i said, im doing just that here in 3 or four weeks.I would run an E85 setup,but its just not readily available in my area.Different parts of the country have different availability.I have heard of others running a 3.2 without an intercooler or E85, but i dont know how much timing they had.If i have to pull a bunch of timing to do a 3.2 then i will run a 3.3.



Edit: thats good to hear machinegun.
 
No offense but you should probably do some more research before doing any modding if you've never heard of e85. Have your read the safely modding your 3800 thread? It has a ton of useful information.
 


I'm running a 3.25 no ic. But ic should be on soonish once the car is running right again. Then it's down to a 2.8
 
i had a 3.25 pulley with nic cam, headers, 42.5# injectors, 255lph fuel pump, fuel pump rewire, and full exhaust with very minimal to 0* of KR

Ya I've read that thread several times. I also read somewhere that you can run a 3.2 with core modifications and an XP cam. Just trying to see how everyone feels about that.
