3.4 pulley and belt on the way, what else?

[cheftjpeck]

well thanks to an awesome deal from Craig aka BLOWN05, I have a 3.4 pulley and belt on the way..I am Not in any rush to install it, so I figured i'd get a couple safety items...if anyone suggests anything else or disputes that what I have listed is necessary, then let me know...here in order
1. gt500 fuel pumps, expensive as shit, but reccommended for piece of mind
2.new tune from justin at vmp..I assume this too is necessary going from 3.6 to 3.4 pulley..

MAYBES
new torque converter, PI multi disk, 3000 stall??
18 inch dtag radials?/ need for traction..
mind you I will never see a track with my car..so these may not be needed...[radials and tc]
oh well, that's it..thanks again to craig..oh by the way, may have 3.6 pulley and belt 4 sale down the road...any suggestions, ideas...thx, TJ .

I'm surprised you done have the DRs already.... I went with them soon after my s/c - I'd suggest a pair! if your rims are 9.5 or wider you have a decent choice. Nittos last longest - hook worst, MTs hook best wear quickest, BFGs are in between.

no, unfortunately my wheel is 18x9...so choices are limited

Hey chef, I just recently put on the 3.4" pulley. I also just got the GT500 fuel system from Tousley Ford for $621.50 plus $10 for shipping. They give good discounts if your a modularfords member. The phone number for them is 1-800-328-9552 and ask for Steve. I bought them too for piece of mind.

Mine are 18x9 too but I kept the stock wheels so I can use those for drag tires if I want.

even with a 9" ur not too bad off...

275/35/18 from BFG DR
285/35/18 from Nitto 555r

even the new MT ET Street Radial...305/35R18 might fit...bulge a bit but fit.

I can see the BFG fitting, but the NITTO or MT...really?

The Nitto is "approved" for a 9.5" rim... so IMO your fine... the MT is a stretch as its for a 10" rim if I remember.... but I've seen guys do a 1" difference in approved size to what they have.... I'd probably not do it myself....

so where is the best place to get either the nitto or the bfg (price etc) any suggestions...

Tire Rack sells the BFGs and I think Discount Tire Sells the Nitto's. you may also want to check your local tire shops. they can be competitive in pricing once you factor in shipping and mounting. usually they'll charge less to mount if you buy from them.
