I recently bought a 2004 Mone Carlo SS Supecharged with the Limited edition Intimidator package which I didnt realize until later there was only 4000 produced. Which kind of sucks because I want to mod it but would be ashame to mod a limited production car. So I figure I will just do mods that are reversible, like pulley, CAI and so on. Anyways I thought I would come here and introduce myself, im Taylor.

Welcome Taylor!
Almost any mod you do can be reversible, including cam, headers etc.

I dont want to mess with the car too much, but I do want to do easily reversible mods. I dont think I will be doing anything to the internals, I already spend all my time doing that with my 85 SS.lol

Welcome Taylor!

I have an 04 Dale Jr. Limited Production (2888) made. I plan on modding mine to ~ 360 - 400 WHP. Pocket book limited. LOL! Enjoy your car.

Cool man, ill have to cruise down to VA and check it out sometiome. That will easily change my mind about not wanting to mod too much.lol

I need to find everything i need to go 3" or under pulley, like intercooler and what ever else is required to do smaller pulley.

I'd say go ahead and mod to your heart's content. Unlike muscle-car era special packages, modern packages are pretty much just stickers and badges. Without any mechanical upgrades to go with the cosmetic stuff, package cars just don't hold any extra value.

BTW,

^^ lol! I'm not criticizing or anything because the more mods the better, but you want to do easily reversible mods but you want to run a 3" or smaller pulley? To run a pulley that small is going to be some pretty big mods you know? Like i said though, i'm not criticizing i'm just curious if you changed your mind? One thing that people kinda have a hard time understanding is pulley size's don't make the car fast, proper tuning, including correct fuel ratio's and timing make the car fast (assuming the car is modded cam, i/c, headers, ect) There are a lot of people out there (not so much on this forum everyone on here is pretty smart) running pulley's that are way to small. If some of those people used a bigger pulley and more timing their cars would respond way better.

Im not sure how far I want to go with this thing, I already have one monte thats barely streetable.lol I just wanted to know what it involves to drop down to a 3" or smaller pulley, because if it involve beefing up and changing out internals im definitly not going that route with this car. I pretty much just want to do simple bolt ons that dont screw the computer up and dont affect the cars reliability. What mods would you recommend, CAI, throttle body spacer, smaller pulley, exhaust? I definitly want to go get on a dyno and get this thing tuned at one of the local shops here, but I figure I will do what ever bolt ons I can before I go.
