Default 3.4 Pulley finaly install!!!!

hey hey!

finaly got my pulley !! install by foghorn and his friend jerry, thank you guys!!

its a 3.4 (and a 3.25 ...later, way later)

they scan her too after the install to let me know how important heat play a role..


i explain: after install, we go for th test, on highway roll at 65 mph, full throttle....12 KR


but it soon adjust and get down to average of 3-4

but to come with the heat factor, i kind of make a fast intake setup and it show why ,

outside temp 26 celcius ...IAT temp 40 celcius... doh!

so this afternoon im working on a better intake, should help reduce knock retard.

but when rolling , i feel a good difference when dowshift. got to save money for the pcm,
as foghorn and jerry strongly suggest me

so thats it, foghorn should post pics of install soon, i was not able to bring a camera.


p.*.: dont jump at me when you see pics, ...i know... my engine bay can be cleaner

p.*#2: foghorn make me a ride of his bonny.... what a beast!!!!!! it pull like a jet, and sure the print of my head is still on the seat lol


thank you guys.

Looks like the journey has begun. Stick around Paul much longer and youll have a screamer as well (and a lighter wallet).

I like how you added "(stock)" after your 1/4 time
I got my 3.4MP on a few weeks ago and it'* great I'm still enjoying the extra boost now I just need the PCM and I'll be set for another week till I decide something is missing again.

if people see 15.2 with a 3.4, they probably say that its slow , may be ill try it to the track this friday, but this summer is so hot, i mean hot , always 30 celcius or more, not very good to beat time, but it will give me an idea of what the 3.4 give.
