hey guys

i recently installed a 3.4 pulley on my car. the list of mods for my car include. cold air intake, colder plugs, msd igniton, 180 degree thermostat. pacesetter headers wiht full three inch exhaust. i put the pulley on and was scanning for Kr and saw that i have one to two degrees of timing that it is retarding the timing but this is only around 80mph at full boost is this ok. i undersrtand the 0 is perfect but i was wondering if that much kr is alright. also what can i do to get rid of the Kr and still keep the 3.4 pulley

thanks for the help

Tune would be first on my list - and then a FWI. 1 - 2* of knock can be tuned out fairly easily - considering your list of mods. The FWI will help as well.

If you had more KR than you're seeing - then I'd say an alky kit or IC might be in order, but I think a few tweaks to your fuel tables will take care of you. ;)

agreed...with those mods I think maybe even a dhp would take care of that...plus a tune will really wake a STOCK gtp up...imagine what it will do for you ;)
 
A tune will take care of that much KR and 1-2 degrees may not seem bad but it can lead to bad things eventually. Always go for 0*. Anything else and you are asking for issues eventually.
 


I've been meanin to check my car to see how much kr I'm gettin if any. But I'm gettin a tune soon so ill check then
 
i meant to tell you guys i do have a pcm from 3800 performance now only if i could find a tuning shop around here i live closer to pittsburg then i do to philly but im willing to travel any word on whos got a good tune and is in pa

thanks
 
Reason being is they aren't tuned for headers IIRC...just get a custom tune or hop on a PA. GP forum and I am sure there is SOMEONE near you that knows how to tune these cars...
 
come to me screaming green monster lol i have hp tuners and still have 6 credits. live in erie. cant tune for a **** but your welcome to use mine and what little knowledge i have. i wont have a prroblem getting the kr out though. besides i need anouther gtp in the area. im surrouned by hondas and we could go bet on the wanta be fast and furious kids.
