You can get those nice aluminum oil caps and then contact ReflectiveConcepts.com and have them create a custom overlay for you. I had them do that for the one on my Monte, well worth it IMO. It's a little appearance thing

Exactly lol. Jason, does the above sound like a good plan to get to a 3.4" pulley? Any changes or suggestions you have?

I would probably do the exhaust mods before adding too much more power going into the engine. Other wise it's like trying to run a marathon while breathing through a drinking straw.

Definitely headers, do headers.

Lower tstat, under $15.

If you get headers, crossout downpipe.

Since all my cars are naturally aspirated, I honestly have not done research on best options for modding a S/C engine. I wish I could offer some useful advice. But, I can tell ya, Chibi is like the walking encyclopedia of most any '00+ Monte thing you wanna know. I would consider his input very valuable (and of course the input of those who actually have modded a S/C engine).
