i would suggest doin all the supportin mods before you swap out for a smaller pulley

 

You're right. It would be helpful to get a baseline though- if you can find someone local to just run a scan for KR while you go WOT- just to see how high it gets, that can be helpful in letting you know how much modding you'll need to do to do a pulley drop.

The thing about doing the supporting mods first, is they all lower knock- so it isn't really necessary to monitor it as you mod, because all that stuff is just bringing it down anyways- so you wouldn't really need to check until you were ready to buy a pulley.

Its really up to you. Just keep in mind- that after you do your last mod before you want to try going to a pulley- drive your car for a few days before you actually pay attention to the KR # because you want to wait until the PCM learns the fuel trims and such as they will be.

 

if the kr is low or 0after doing some of the mods would u still suggest doing the rest of them befor a swap?

 

Low KR- definitely not. 0 always, then you could theoretically- but I really bet either way when you swap to a smaller one, you'll end up having KR- and having to fight it back down with mods.

Not to mention, the other mods do add some decent power as well- just not quite what the pulley does.
