Would like to get my ported exhaust manifolds on, pulley on, and a tune before the seasons up so I can get at least 1 3.5 Pulley, Tuned day.

Planning on doing the manifolds this weekend, couldn't be to hard, any tips appreciated and any help greatly appreciated.

Need someone with a pulley puller so I can switch the stock for the 3.5 thats sitting with 2 bottles of supercharger oil and the new belt in my cargo net on the passenger seat. Almost to the point where I'm going to buy one, then rent my time to pay it back Smile

As for a tune I've thought of going to New Era, $275 for the dyno, would need a "street" or "drive-ability" tune too I think because its a daily driver, haven't really got an any real answers back from New Era yet. Would be nice if they have a puller to have the pulley pulled and the car tuned in the same day so I wouldn't have to hold back my lead foot on the way to rochester and the time between the pulley on and tune....

Anyway any and all helps is welcome to get this 04 to low 14s (14.56now)...high 13's possibly?

Alright Saturday sound good? late morning-mid-day?

From what it looks all I really need is smaller hands and deep sockets? Got the wobbler extensions if that helps? Have to have a better peak at the FSM.

I live basically at the beginning and end of the world, where Danebrock Place and Danebrock Drive meet in Amherst/Eggerstsville.

Quick Directions:

Off Main St between Getzville and Eggert take Fairlawn, its a left and the quick right. Second Driveway on left side, corner lot.
_______

From Millersport Hwy turn off at six corners (where it becomes Grover Cleveland) onto Longmeadow on the Quik Fill side (left). Turn right at the Oneway Ivyhurst Circle, at stop sign(s) proceed to the street strait ahead, Danebrock Drive, turn right at Danebrock Place, corner lot, first driveway on right.
_______

From Sheridan Drive, make your way threw the maze of "Campus" streets or go right to Getzville, then to Woodberry, short extension of Longmeadow, left onto Hedstrom, right onto Boncroft, right onto danebrock , second driveway on the left, corner lot Smile
_______

Directions for anyone else that can lend a hand may it be installing the PEM's or....tuning assistance Smile

I'm not in Buffalo on weekends...yet.
Although I probably could be--I need to roam a bit.
Lock in the time/date, and I can help supervise. Wink

Weather looks good right threw next week. Studying my FSM it doesn't look to be as bad as first thought Smile Looks like something I can tackle but the extra hand here or there would be a big help....plus I need a torque wrench. Took my craftsman back to sears because the chrome lettering they had on it to tell me the torque setting wiped right off.

I will be starting the project Saturday or Sunday morning, 10-11am, at this point it looks like Saturday is the winner. I don't need to be getting mad at the Bills while working on the car. I'll know more tomorrow.
