Yeah I used 2 heat ranges colder. Mine is a little different being the Aluminium head, I used the R24LTS. I think the iron head plugs would be different.

My camaro isnt boosted, but my grandprix is. When I swapped from the orginal pully (think it was a 3.8" pully) to a 3.4 pully. I had to drop 1 heat range. I think I also changed the gap a little bit too?

I belive the stock boost was 7lbs, 3.4 nets me just shy of 10 (like 9.25-9.5).

I'm dropping 1 heat range when I swap over to the 3.4... 2.8 loads up on oil too fast to think about going colder.
