BUT! if he chose to go with the 3.4 he could get a real rich tune, and keep the car safe. The guys that appear to be blowing pistons seem to have near 10 lbs and an AFR near 12:1 and are running WOT for too long in too high of a gear 5th and 6th.... (making an assumption) either way we have to remember that the engine, if it detects the knock/detonation, will retard the timing... remember my exhaust rattling on the tunnel brace problem? As long as the tuner doesn't decrease the sensitivity of the knock sensor, the ecm will retard the timing and go into "safe mode" preventing you from blowing it up... But regardless, the 3 things you should never do at the same time for very long are run max boost at max RPM with max load on the stock bottom end. In other words don't go WOT in 5th or 6th gear at redline for any length of time... That's what will cause piston ring landings to fail before anything else.... I'd be willing to bet the engines we've seen blow did so at WOT... and not in 4th gear unless they'd been run hard before dropping down a gear....

Make life simple, just put the 3.6" pulley on your car. You won't be happy with the lower boost from the 3.8" pulley on a car with headers. Ok, I'm done saying "get the 3.6" pulley." My next words about that will be "I told you so."
This is so exciting! |

If you're planning on doing the cam soon, then I say stick with the 3.8". Then measure with the cam and get the right pulley. If it's going to be a while, then pony up for the 3.6". Welcome to the world of boost!

Those words are what I will be trying to avoid. hahaha I'm gonna have him send the 3.8 and I'll buy a 3.6 and have both when I take it to a shop. It will be a while. But, much like Emma, I say that KNOWING in the back of my mind it'll probably be sooner than later. |
