With oversized tensioner since the gatorback belt the previous owner put on it is still good. My supporting mods will be a 180 drilled t-stat and NGK TR55'* gapped at .58. Sound good? I only have SINGLE exaust, I don't know if thats a problem. Its a pretty strait shot from the manifold to the mufflar.

I got the 3.5 on my ssei. It really woke my car up. You will still gain 20hp maybe a hair more, from that mod alone. The torque should be around 25-50ft lbs depending.

Every car is different and you should scan the car for KR but I think a 3.4 would have been a safe bet.

First mod I did was a 3.4. Heck, I didn't know they made a 3.5!
