You can run an oversized idler pulley & a stock sized belt which would give you more belt wrap on the pulley (but slip shouldn't an issue at all with a 3.4"). But to answer your question the belt is # 4060715.

A 2.8" will fit on the snout of the SC without turning it down to accept smaller. But I would recommend 3.4" be the smallest you run with premium fuel till you scan for KR and add mods which will allow you to run smaller pullies.


You can only force so much air into your motor before you need to allow it to breathe better with things like rockers/cam/headers & porting/polishing.

If you plan to get to a 3.0” it would be good to invest in a scanner sooner then later.

I would recomend you go no smaller then a 3.4, a 3.5 would be a better choice. I run a 3.4 on my car and had a fair amount of KR. Upgrading your PCM will help, the performance shift kit from intense really had a difference. If you add a 3.0 you will get a lot of KR, from what I've heard you loose 5hp for every degree of KR. If you change your cam or put in 1.9:1 rockers and do something with your exaust, PEMs or headers you can get closer to that size.

i would NOT go lower than a 3.5 with out a PCM.....i have a custom tune, and cant get rid of my KR with a 3.4....yet.....but i need more time to tune....

with that being said, and knowing other 03'* as well (they typically run lean from the factory at the higher RPM'* and the fuel trims are way out of wack) the 3.5 and maybe even a 3.6 would be the best bet

A 3.0 is going to be far to small for your car until you have done a considerable amount of modification. Basically, you'd be trying to cram in more air than your motor can deal with.
A 3.4 may actually be just a little small too. I would recommend that if you go with the 3.4, you consider also installing a cold air intake, such as INTENSE'* fenderwell intake. That will help some with any KR you run into.

EDIT, I see the cone filter in your sig, is it heat-shielded? If so, that'* fine. If not, then you still need to either shield it or get that FWI. High intake air temps, from sucking air from the engine bay, contribute to KR.
