People like to drop pulley sizes but the if the exhuast isn't freed up it can cause KR. So get a downpipe atleast. Also I suggest a bluetooth scanner adapter and a good mobile app so you can monitor the KR and other read outs on your phone. If your looking to mod her that is...

Also congrats on the new monte!

Kr is the knock retardent that gm vehicles monitor. Jason knows better than me haha. Dont pay more than $100 for a resonator delete. Mine was $72. Make sure the pulley is after all the other supporting mods.

On my non-super charged Monte, I did notice a little extra pep after I ditched the res.

I admit, I have not done a lot of homework on best mods for a L67. But I believe to pulley drop you need more then just a u-bend and res delete. My advice would be to start reading the thread in the link below:

I did notice a little pep, its seemed mostly in the 60-100 range not the 0-60. But I'm comparing it with my subs in the back now which I definantly feel so if I'm keeping the same 0-60 and feeling improvement 60-100 than its gotta be giving me something.
