you need to first get the car running in top form first, so a full tune up is in order. There is no magical forumla to tell you what pulley you can run safely.
personally i wouldnt run smaller than a 3.5" with out more mods

definately get that misfire and emission code taken care of first. personally i wouldnt even attempt a pulley drop until you get more mods, ive seen too many chiped pistons. i would get the exhaust opened up, cold air intake(i see you have one), reprogrammed computer, 180* thermostat, 1 step colder plugs, then you could safely drop to a 3.5 or 3.4 depending on how much you open up your exhaust. but above all you need a way to scan your car for kr so you dont blow the motor.

Should i look into doing a hole new flow master exhaust system. Headers to tips. My had has and old 3800 seriors motor in our basment from a 98 sse. i could also instead use those headers and work from there. What do you think would be better.

For the smallest pulley to be run, you need to get a whole lot of stuff. Stage 3/4 heads, larger valves, about 130# springs, a cam, rockers if they will fit, a double roller timing chain, an intercooler, the LIM opened up to fit the intercooler, a ported supercharger, a bigger throttle body, larger fuel injectors, a more powerful fuel pump, headers, a high flow cat, 3" exhaust tapering down to no smaller than 2.5" or staying at 3", and you can retain your stock muffler if you'd like.
That takes care of the basics. You will find that if you go this route, there are many little things to buy, like different fuel rails and some fuel lines to go over/around the supercharger once the intercooler is put on, and then there'* that whole thing about the transmission being eaten in the first few weeks of you running with such a setup.
