Hi I have $1000 to spend and want to mod up.

Also I don't know if this matters, but I have an 04 gtp and will these mods still work with the 04+ models or do they work best with the 97-03 models??
 


the newer gen blowers are more efficient as I understand it so performance wise a 3.5 or 3.6 is about equal to a 3.4 on the older gen cars.....so to answer your questions.....yes, I believe so

do the usual 3.4 setup. that will extinguish your $1000.

- PLOG
- 3" downpipe
- intake
- 180* thermostat
- autolite 104s
- 3.4 supercharger pulley
- and a tune to tie it all together.

Did the math and all of that will cost around $950 give or take. Do you guys think I will see any knock with those mods?
 


knock depends a lot on your tune.........you should be able to get rid of most of it, if not all. If you want less knock yet get headers w/ downpipe versus the independant downpipe and PLOG.......and don't get the 3.4 with your gen car. Make sure that you have the proper pulley puller when you change it out.......you cant just use a puller with the hooks.......

Yea I am gonna go with the 3.5 0r 3.6 instead
 
if you can, put the pulley on at the same time it is tuned or you will have a lot of KR if you dont have it tuned........not safe at all...

Yup...pretty much...might as well get a MPS System too...that way if you ever get headers or something along the lines of a IC...then you can just buy a pulley for the MPS...and not a press-on. One of the BEST mods on my GTP. Start with the 3.6". It will never hurt to go bigger until you know if your knocking or not with that Gen V.
 


I would also recommend starting with a 3.6 and if you don't have any knock, then try the 3.5........$50(another pulley) is a small price to pay for engine not blowing and I am sure you could sell the 3.6 used and recoup some of that money anyway if you got to that point.......good luck though....
