I am considering getting pullies. are they worth the $230 and heard the gains are about 10hp. Also should i do a 180* thermostat change and how much help will it do?

 

Concenses is the 180* is useless and the 160* is a good mod for FI only. You might want to consider a cam before these other mods.

 

yea im thinking bout gettin the 212/218 high lift but got to get HPT b4 anything

 

I would put in the 160 stat, regardless of what my mod level was. You're in the South and it get's damn hot in the Summer. Your heater will run at a slightly lower temp, but still plenty hot to get/keep you warm in the Winter.

Getting tuning/logging software is a good plan.

Curious, why are you running TR-6 plugs? Do you spray your motor? I know they're the iridium version.

 

If you are thinking about a T-Stat you should go look in the southern section at the BB-mod how to

 

I dont get the t-stat mod. Where I live its been 105+ all summer and my truck constantly runs at 185. Which is on the stock tstat...why would you need any lower then that?

 

pull a trailer in that heat and get back to me

 

back to the question... one of my first mods were pulleys... couldnt be happier... you can definitely notice it from a dig and feel it a bit throughout the rpm range i would suggest it

 

It is a decent performance mod, but it will bring the sound level down from your system, and basically drain a lot of power from your accesories.

 

hmm didn't hurt mine none... did you get the bigger pulley for the alternator??
