have you ever go the car scanned?
scanning is the only way to know, asking us is a guessing game because of mixed results people got on there car
i ran a 3.25 with a catback(stock cat and DP), CAI,tr-6 plugs,160 t-stat, wrapped corssover
i had 1 or 2 deg of KR on hotdays but thats it. it depends on how much timing your commanding also.
when i added a pems and a DHP 1.0 i raised the timing to 19 with the same pulley
there is a big increse in torque swapping down to that so be aware.

Bob, what year was your car? I'm wondering the reason you saw such low kr numbers was becuase of the 160* thermo. Since the knock sensor turn on temp was 159* or whatever high * for 99's and I forget what other years, maybe 00's. None the less your car still had to be a freak, what was your 1/4 mile time with JUST those mods?
its an 01, 2000 was the last year of the knock sensors not truning on till 159*
the car still ran hot as hell, i changed a 180 to a 160 not knowing my radiator had shit loads of sludge in it and wasnt helping any
13.6 with a 1.9 before the pems and DHP
13.7 with a 2.4 60 after them, tho i ran this with a 3.0 pulley(wish i practiced launching with brand new tires and pulley)
driver and a well kept car is what it comes down to. its not really a freak voyteks car ran 14.1 with a FWI and thats it(300+pound driver, and entire rear suspension was/is shot)
but back on topic -SCAN your car first, if not, dont do it.snouts will make noise for a LONG time before they seize

with those mods, honestly i think you will need a good tune with a PT to run a 3.4, and 3.2 is going to be too much boost/heat for your car. technically, you COULD run it, with only running 10* spark advance, but that doesnt make much sense. to put it in perspective, i ran a 3.2, ssic, togs, with a PT (im not that good at it though) and had to reduce timing to be kr free.
on the other hand, cars like bob's are freaks. dont plan on being able to run anything smaller than a 3.4 with those mods. remember its better to have 10 psi and 20* timing than 12 psi, 17* timing with KR.

with those scans i would not put it on then. do your recall your o2s?
cars that are very lean from the factory will have a harder time. DHP 1.0 files lean your car out a little (at least mine did) this is one reason you might want to get a custom tune off a powrtuner and just skip the 1.0
you need to get a scanner ASAP. tell oscar to go halfs on a PT. both of you will need it for a scanner and im sure oscar will need a few misc things changed or erased with his project.
for daily scanning i really liked intercepter gauge also
