Also when you mention retarding the timing, since the timing is computer controlled how would one go about retarding it slightly to reduce detonation... perhaps the engine control systems do it automatically?<hr></blockquote>


MSD DIS-4

Doesn't the Powerdyne kit come with a Crane ignition retard device? Wouldn't this by less expensive than the MSD?

Yes, the Crane unit would do the trick as well, but an MSD is a very wise idea for any car equipped with a turbo, blower, or nitrous. I need to get one bad, just haven't scraped up the cash yet.

[v6maro]

i'm thinking about selling mine...
teal, i know you want one.

Stefan or Steve,
Would either one of you guys happen to know the thread size of that 5 inch bolt on the bracket that went through the sleeve? (the bottom bolt)
I need that thread size.

[nikkev]

What about 12psi on the 3.4? I know the stock bottom end is iron and that the connecting rods are forged.Are our pistons the same?I have used a 150hp shot of the juice and the only damage I did was to my headgaskets.I am planning on the NuTek heads/cam/intake but I just want to make sure my bottom end will hold up to the boost.I was getting a Lt1 for Christmas but it looks like the relationship is going south again and that may not happen.So I hope you guys or BigGreenBird make a forced induction kit for us 3.4's.I am very bad about trying to install things on my own and I would hate to destroy my engine because I don't know what I'm doing.

Mike, I don't know off the top of my head but I could take it off and measure it...

[TealV6]

Mike- Welcome, I see you got your name all fixed up there ;) I'm not sure what the size is. I might be able to hook up with Batman and pull the bolt real quick if Stefan can't do it in the next day. I do remember that it was 9/16's socket if that helps some.

Nikkev - Don't worry my friend. We are working on that too. We are going to to give the V6 world some of the coolest toys to be playing with in the spring!! :D Just hold on to your steering wheel and be patient.

After that, we are going to attack the 3.4L. We need to see how far we can push that one ;)

[TealV6]

Got that one covered. We might even have a second one (if he's not so pissy with me) later on this winter.

i wish i could use my car as a test for the 3.8, but i guess that's out of the question since i'm all the way in louisiana, huh??

is this ATI only or can the other parts be from Vortech or some other centrifugal SC maker?

[CamaroBoy3800]

ATI is the best SC maker out there right now IMO, I don't like vortech because of their false advertising that ATI is suing them for in court

[MichaelS78]

Stefan, How much for just the crankshaft pulley?
Ill buy it now if you have a pulley ready. Lemme know.

Thanks man
