Why did you stop bro
W-body gang! All about that M90 whine haha Cool vids man, keep it up!
LSX StreetCars thanks man you too! You definitely have a lot of cool projects going on on your channel!
Glad to see a video man! Best of luck and hope to see more.
802 Garage thanks! There will be plenty more
you can run the 3.4 pulley with the headers because the headers lowers the boost , on my gtp before the header install i was at 9 psi after the headers i was only pushing 7 psi ! the pulley should add around 4-5 psi so you would be around 11-12 psi but honestly you would still be safe with a 3.2 pulley and headers.
Sweet good to know, I found a methanol kit on zzpreformance for pretty cheap and I figured later on if I could install that I could drop more sizes because it should be like it's intercooler but we'll see what happens haha
sweet also get a 180f thermostat and colder plugs.
You have a series 3, with the more efficient gen 5 m90 blower, I would not even attempt a 3.2 without an intercooler or a good cam. Because you are running a series 3, with again, the more efficient m90, its actually recommended that you run a 3.6 with just headers, which is your equivalent to the series 2's 3.4 drop.
A 3.4 pulley on your gen 5 blower is like running a 3.2 on a gen 3, to give you perspective. not safe without those rockers or a cam, or intercooler or meth.
Once you get meth and or e85 tuned, then you can drop further, but I'd do a size at a time to play it smart. there is a reason people buy up those gen 5 blowers to do a swap on the series 2's :D its a great upgrade.
I know these cars, I'm on # 4 all coupes and all GTP's lol get your ride oil sprayed or shes going rot away on you ask how I know. I just don't want to see you follow some crappy advice and end up on the side of the road man. I would guess you're on all our GP forums?
Read through zzps articles if you haven't, also Will Overkills articles at www.getoverkilled.ca
Theres a few good 3800 FB pages too. I'm always happy to shoot the shit about these W-bodys.
jebysan yes thanks I'm aware it's the series 3 with the more efficient blower, I want to get rockers but I might just get bigger pump and injectors to run e85 for the time being, also don't worry I have a scan gauge so I'll make sure I'm not knocking when I drop pulleys, it was under coated a while ago i can tell but the coating is starting to chip a little, I've read on overkill.com and tried to contact the guy for a tune twice but he never got back to me
Boosted Buckets Yeah Overkill has been very hard to get a hold of lately, which is a shame. Turbo Tim at zzperformance has been pretty good to me, I used to have an overkill tune in my first GTP, I was very happy with it. The zzp 1.0 pcm is just as, good so far.
Or try the forums and see if you can find a 04 overkill pcm. If you're serious about the prix, scour the forums for all the parts you might want to buy used now, the forums have died off significantly in the last year.
E85 is a step in the right direction, but keep in mind that the ratings for e85 actually cycle with the seasons, so what might run good one season, might run like dogs ass the next. check this out zzperformance.com/mystery-behind-e85/
Can't wait to see what you do with your car, please avoid the temptation to stick all the wallmart hood scoops on it though lol.
I wish I knew more about superchargers back in the day when I had my Park Avenue Ultra Supercharged!! I woulda turned it way up! Like I did in my old CTS-V. I want a video of the whine on this car after you install the smaller pulley.
All About Action CC haha yea all the 3800s are really good engines and I'll definitely make a video doing a few pulls once I'm done, Hopefully later down the road I can put a even smaller pulley on it and either intercool it or run meth injection!
Boosted Buckets what I did on my V was upgrade the lower poulley it was a 10% overdrive... bigger pulley more grip on the belt. You don't think you will get any belt slippage with the pulley being smaller?
Boosted Buckets by the way I will be waiting for that video of the supercharger whine
All About Action CC I'm not sure I don't think I will with this size but if I do I can swap to a 8rib belt because from the factory it has a 6 rib, I think this other company also sells a "belt wrap kit" but it's only for the 2.55-3.25 pulley
Boosted Buckets good luck with your build
Great to see you upload again
The Mechanic thanks!
This guy is great reminds me of post Malone 👍🏿
I had to have my ebay headers cut and re-welded on my gtp it is true but they might have re-designed them though , it was about 5 years ago when i got them lol.
Timothy Mosley yea I got them and then was holding off on installing for like a month, finally got around to doing it and it was a direct fit hahhaha
Nice !
Nice bro!!! What year is that gtp? Mine is 04 and with tune catback and intake I'm at 110 DC on injectors. Got the headers but never installed them
Emilthehun it’s a 04 and I need to get a tune still
Boosted Buckets same as mine. Hit up tunedbynishan for an awesome tune. I've been running his tune for 30k miles
Emilthehun cool man thanks, I should have more vids coming out soon on it
Boosted Buckets awesome brother I'll sub. Where you from? I live in nj.
Emilthehun thanks man I appreciate it, I’m from Nebraska lol pretty lame here
hey i was just curious on how you grew your car channel?
imTate Entertainment just keep trying your best man commenting back, and uploading, it will slowly grow you just have to stay at it man! I just kept uploading
what is that exhaust? i love it
vividly vanilla it’s just some pace setter headers with a open 3in down pipe the rest is stock!
Boosted Buckets thank you
For sale?
Take a shot every time he says like
Help I’m drowning
exhaust leaks dont matter? WOW!
brad chandler I said it wasn’t a big deal because I just had to fix the clamps that held the downpipe to the y pipe which I ended up doing and fixed it, lol a exhaust leak definitely matters and will throw off your afr and more depending where it’s at sorry for the confusion
R right then! LOL!
finally first
finallychurro?

315 Car Scene more coming soon!!! Sorry for the long wait, I really appreciate everyone sticking around!!!
