there is this guy in auto tech at my college that has a 97-03 gp with an ebay intake and a 3.4 pulley.
i was in there lookin at it and he walked by so i asked him what size the pulley was and he told me.
there wasnt any other mods that i could see, stock exhaust, no IC, hope for his sake he has some rockers or somethin.


some of the guys that i know in there told me i should race him but i would feel bad if we took off and his car broke down or somethin.
i just told them to tell the guy that he should swap back to the stock pulley before he messes somethin up, and they were all curious
as to what would happen. so then i taught some auto tech guys a little about KR. i kinda felt like a badass cuz i knew stuff that they didnt
and they were studying to be mechanics.

Should let him know in addition to risking his engine he is probably also getting less performance.

and even worse mpg since the timing dumps fuel to compensate for the knock

A 3.4 pulley will not cause a motor to blow. It will just cause kr and make the car slower.

And, the resultant KR can chip pistons, and crack cylinder walls...all kinds of nasty stuff.
