1999 Grand prix... Looking to run a 3.4 pulley

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

Without rockers. No.

Overkill should be okay though.

Ask brandon what happens when you try to run a 3.4 pulley on a stock tune with ONLY headers.

we didn't have ONLY headers...

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

okay. Headers and HAI.

You might as well have shoved a banana up one of the tailpipes too without valvetrain mods.

 

[brandonl2000]

we had plugs and a tstat too. :th_tongue2:

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

LOL. yeah, well those are really more like maintenance items, guy.

 

[JDrach]

Then why did your 3.4 fail if u had headers and tuned pcm?

 

[brandonl2000]

LOL. yeah, well those are really more like maintenance items, guy.

so are headers if you look at it that way.

Then why did your 3.4 fail if u had headers and tuned pcm?

it didn't fail. this was before the tune.

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

Then why did your 3.4 fail if u had headers and tuned pcm?

Did not fail.

On a stock PCM file though it was a BIG fail.

After the tune it pulled like a raped ape.

 

[brandonl2000]

After the tune it pulled like a raped ape.

it sure did. nothing like the first time

 

[JDrach]

so 3.4 is good with a tuned pcm and headers?

 

[JDrach]

good as in, wont blow up lol

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

good as in wont blow up yes.

if you really want to get the most out of a 3.4 pulley though you need valvetrain mods.

 

[JDrach]

i just wanna get myself a lil boost. was thinking new spark plugs, that zzp 1.0pcm, ubend delete, CAI or conefilter, and headers. Then i will try smaller pulley size, 3.4 lowest i'd want to go.

 

[brandonl2000]

headers=u-bend delete.

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

Headers will include the ubend delete.
CAI would be a good mod.

Forget ZZP 1.0 with 3.4 pulley, MAYBE with 3.6 pulley.

 

[JDrach]

will i still see a nice increase in torque with a 3.6 pulley?

 

[brandonl2000]

hell. a tune alone wakes the car up really nicely. stock tune is just soooo mild.

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

will i still see a nice increase in torque with a 3.6 pulley?

Definitely.

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

hell. a tune alone wakes the car up really nicely. stock tune is just soooo mild.

It's not mild.

It's safe.
Keep in mind the stock tune was made for joe blow who drops in 93 when he got paid and 87 when he's on his last $20.

 

[brandonl2000]

mild, safe, pick your adjective.

but yah lol. its a wonder the only part of the car that even says "put 93" is the manual. i figured they'd put it on the gas door for dummies.
