Depends on the tune more than anything.

You might be safe to drop but I would highly recommend a method to scan before switching the pulley.

I'd probably do a full size intercooler and a cam and start a built trans savings fund

At that point, I'm not sure what more you would do honestly. I think you'll have a hard time getting traction as it is, but that is what makes it fun I suppose

It's what you yell at people when they walk in on you taking a poo.

Incorrect. What you are referring to is more commonly known as: "Knock, retard."

Punctuation is crucial.

you should be ok to run a 3.4 with a real good tune. the tune is just as important as a supporting mod as the other stuff is if not more important. but before you drop a pulley you will need to scan!!
