If I change my pulley from the stock 3.8 to a 3.6 pulley do I need to have a new tune?

If your car is tuned now, yes it will need to be retuned for the additonal boost.

yes

The car came with the SCT X3. Should I use that to tune the car or should I use something else? Also does anybody know a good tuner,around the Philly/Delaware that can use this tuner?

Depends on Who Tuned it and what method was used to tune it.

If your running a Magnuson tune, there should be plenty of fuel already programmed in for the extra boost but it would be wise to add a Wide band O2 gauge to monitor it or have it checked on a local dyno Preferably in an O2 bung welded in the pipe before the cats, NO TAIL PIPE SENSORS PLEASE.

If you need tuning assistance I tune with SCT Daily, via Email.
