3.4" pully



I am actually a Licenced GM tech, and thought I would put a post up....guess what, Tech 2 says zero spark knock, colder copper plugs with smaller gap works fine, K & N intake helps, as does header wrap and throttle body spacer/NOS adapter. You people just love the dollars way...ever hear of the "cents" way ? Why don't you research things before speakling ? Must be nice to throw your money away for **** all in performance gains. As I thought, this was a waste of time. And to the guy who buys his GTP's cheap, you're no gonna buy this one, cause mine will be runniong for at least anoth 20 years......and by the way, my 1990 Ford Ranger SC with a highly modified 302 cu " V8 drives and handles better than any GTP EVER will ! **** you guys, I'm outta here..
 
Lmao, PMS'ing much? I can see it working ,but I sure as hell would not let it sit like that for long, but your only 20 miles away so whenever it dies pm me :D

EDIT: please tell me it's atleast tuned as well, Mine isn't but I'm running all the supporting mods Plus some, only thing I need is a tune.

just for comparison sake, my car knocked up to 8* or so with headers, 3.4 pulley, full catback, a short ram intake, and all the other misc stuff. ever car acts different. just because the one you scanned was good does not mean joe blows car down the street will be. therefore, your 'cents' way is ****ing dumb.
 


i wonder why it lost power with a 3.0 pulley...
but a 3.4 pulley certainly wouldn't act the same way with a smaller magnitude, that would actually agree with the laws of physics...

think of it this way bud. if GM could have simply thrown a 3.4 pulley on it with no other alterations and kept the same reliability of the motor, and then marketed it as a "performance" package to a difference market niche, don't you think they would have? especially when the genIII was used for 5 or 6 years? GM didn't build the 3.4 setup because it would have been more expensive off the lot and it would have lost a little bit of the DD value. if enough people bought a 3.4 setup from the factory, something went wrong, like it wasn't tuned right from the factory, and everybody blew their motors, a very popular platform would have lost a lot of sales.

a 3.4 pulley means a significantly more air going into the motor. it's gotta go somewhere.

Some and i mean VERY FEW SLP cars had a 3.6 and 1.8 Rockers IIRC. That would have been a nice stock setup.

It was a 3.5" actually. They also had the Ram Air box option, 180* T-Stat, the rockers like you mentioned, and the SLP Headers/SLP Catback. To be honest with a good driver I bet you could have had a 13 second car from the factory on a good day with the right track prep. Those were the SLP Stage 3 cars too.
 
yeah, i had heard rumors about stuff like that. never really looked into it, and i certainly haven't seen one in person. i guess i now have something new to learn about
 


haha this turned out to be a nice thread ... Im just stuck between with headers to pick from im looking at SLP/T.O.g/ ZZP. I put a 3.4 inch pully on wuith just a cai ,cat back exhaust. and it ran good for 11 months and now it lost all its power. i dont no what a KR sounds like but i got to have one. so this is what im planing on getting Slp or T.O.G or zzp headers ....overkill pcm......tr6 plugs....msd 8.5 wires.. i dont no if my supercharger is broke(cuz i dont no anything about them ) but i was gooing to get that mag snout from pfyc.com. the cars got 140k on it and the bearings are most likey shot along with the cuppler. the car dont wine like it used to. :( i was also looking at a ported supercharger on 3800performance.com i need help guys
 
Lost power? Don't know what KR sounds like? I told ya or I know someone did awhile back to read. Still looks like you haven't. It isn't hard to learn about these cars and from what I'm reading from what you've just said...you need to.

Check your plugs. If they are bent or have broken tips then you have a chipped piston...or even worse...no piston. Overkill's turn around time isn't great, TR6 plugs are too cold of a plug for your application, SLP's are overpriced along with the Keyed MAG snout. Especially with all of the vendors are here...your going to buy a ported blwer from 3800 Performance? Buy one from Reptile.
