well. I dont think I am going to set any records with my car. It is my daily driver....and it is the newest. I blew the motor in my last gp 4 times and the trany 3. I dont want to go through that again. I may go with the SS IC, and get some more mods on it and call it. I wouldnt mind running a 12.4 or below...but. I have 2 goals I am shooting for.
1. Beat my friends 99 Trans am(just has an exhaust)
2. Beat another GTP here in town.....which at the end of last year..he and I were side by side.
3.....welll beat a couple other people.
I am going to think long and hard about this tonight. I might place the order in the morning. If I get it would I be able to enlist some volunteers to help put it on. I buy the beer....and food. Kinda want to keep it hidden as well.....which can be accomplished with this kit. Other people I have talked to run this with a 2.8..and have no KR.
Hey Jacob,
If you want to run a 2.8" pulley with absolutely 0kr my suggestion would be to just plain skip the SSIC and go with the Wbody or ZZP full IC's.
The SSIC's main purpose is to quench knock for people who are getting high amounts of kr with larger pullies (ie 3.2-3.4"). It was not made for lowering your pulley size, even Zooomer told me this when he was installing my ZZP IC.
First off, The SSIC core will probably not be large enough to cool the intake temps for you to run a 2.8" pulley as a daily.
Second, alot of the guys on clubgp who are running 3" pullies and lower who have SSIC's have alot of corresponding mods like cam, headers, etc. Which help quench knock also...
I can guarantee you, with the larger intercoolers you will be able to run a 2.8" daily with 0kr with minimal mods, and you will be also be able to advance your timing somewhat depending on what additional mods you have.
I run a 3" pulley, and see 0 kr with full timing on my DHP (around 15.5-16*). I will be adding more timing and will be dropping down to a 2.8" pulley for this summer, once I get tuning squared away.
It is most definitely worth it IMHO to spend the extra 400$ and get either the Wbody or the ZZP full IC. You won't regret the purchase one bit!
Take care,
Joel
