3.2 Pulley
Didn't know how many Saleen guys look in the FS Section but does anyone have a 3.2 SC pulley they want to get rid of..Im looking to go from the 3.4 to the 3.2...Also does anyone know of a good shop around Sacramento I can trust to tune my car?

I would run your car back down South a ways to RPM in Rhonert Park. I am sure there is a nice shoppe around The Sac, but do not know. Hollywood03 and I both bring our rides there and have wonderful tunes and a VERY professional shoppe specializing in the Stang.

Man, I'm seeing all these 3.4 pulleys making more than 450 and people with 3.2's making closer to 500... I'm not feeling like my 05 with a 3.2 is making anywhere NEAR that kind of power.
I think I'm only seeing 10 pounds at the top of the RPM range.
Should I sell my 3.2 and pulley down?

Big Top GT, do you have fully open exhaust, or a custom dyno tune? Has your SC been manually ported?
I have basically stock exhaust, and have been on the JDM mailed tunes for a while. I went into Saleen and had the E-car tune (2.875 pulley) and upgrades added in fall of 07' Now I'm back down to a 12lb pulley and tune with good A/F ratio. The E-car upgrade included slight manual porting of the air intake. I think that gave me slightly better numbers with my current 12lb tune and pulley.
My original Saleen tune and 4.5lbs of boost yielded 376rwhp, then my original 8lb JDM R- tune and kit yielded 420rwhp or so @16 or 17 timing. Logically with the same set up, at 10lbs would be about 435-450rwhp, and a 12lb set up 450-465. The E-car tune with the 2.875 pulley and porting produced 501rwhp, and frightened me.
Since my SC was ported, my dyno jet on my 12lb tune actually produced 470-475rwhp, which I feel with my car before the porting, was on the lower end of the expected numbers for the JDM tune spectrum. I have no idea how much the manual porting is supposed to help, or if it does, but before it was done, with my stock exhaust and mailed standard tunes, I also wondered why I was on the low end. Now for some reason, I am not, and the timing is still 16 or 17 as far as I know. Maybe Jim@ JDM can help explain, Erik

Is it safe to go down to a 2.8 pulley on the stock internals of this car? What do you mean it frightened you? Was it to much power that it just scared you or what? I would love to be around the 500 rwhp range if I can get there safely on stock internals...This mailed tune from JDM, how much does it cost?

The blower has not been ported, either.
The car has a canned tune from JDM.
$180 dollars and I recommend you have an SCT tuner.

I have the stock exhaust on the car from the manifolds all the way to the back bumper. It's a daily driver, so I'm most interested in keeping noise to a minimum.

I highly recommend you get a safe dyno tune with the 3.2 pulley. It will be fine on your stock block but I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT run a canned email tune with that. You should be around 470rwhp with the 3.2 pulley and the dyno tune will pick up your midrange torque quite a bit.
