stage 2 w/ Nates 2.9

Well stage 2 is on its way! My question is this:

Can I put a 2.9 pulley on the stage 2 tune up here in Calgary without problems?

I know everyone is saying that you can, but is it still feasible with our altitude (3,438.3 FT), anyone done it up here? If so can I get away with Mowhawk 93 oct?

I did that on my Ion Redline and never had a problem. Keep in mind, at this altitude, the air is thinner. You can get away with a smaller pulley at high altitude compared to sea level.

id ask before trying... they say to keep warranty they need all the parts in the GM SEALED packaging, that way they know nothing was tampered with

There's a few Husky's around town that have 94 octane. One of them is the Husky on MacLeod by 42nd, another is near Bow Trail and 37 Street. The Mohawk on 16th by Edmonton Trail also has 94 at the pump.

I think there might be a few more, but those are the ones that I know of.
