I love my stock 2006 cobalt ss but Im really considering some mods. What kind of modifications do you need for a 2.6-2.7 pulley on a stock engine? Is the stage 2 or 3 kit necessary or can I just do my own package?

2.6 in generally considered too small to safely run for a DD.

If you want to go the "stage kit" route, that fine. Or you can just piece everything together, it doesn't really mater since you should end up with all the same parts when you're done.

with a 2.7 you'll need a heat exchanger..dualpass..forsure..tune is important..cann tunes are not a good idea

I run a 2.6" on my DD but would recommend using water/meth if you don't have to keep the IATs down. I love the 2.6". So much low end torque

All a heat exchanger and dual pass will do is recoupe your IATs much faster after a pull not actually make them lower so it's not "needed" unless you like to do a lot of back to back runs.

2.6 is safe for a dd as long as ur tune is good and ur not beatin the **** outta the car constantly

OK heres my own PERSONAL setup on a 2.7. I reccomend it as the car has held together SO FAR for 92xxx miles.

my own setup I have

2.7 pulley
3" intake
shorty header
2.5" catless downpipe
stock catback currently - switching to 2.5 zzp catback shortly
TTR motor and trans mounts - switching to powell rotated shortly
front mount heat exchanger
dual pass endplate
option b setup
snow performance stage 2 water/meth kit
dyno tune
2 stage colder plugs

Also related but unrelated I have

GMPP clutch upgrade
OTTP Stage 1 axles

and with the added power i have also added the following to make it more enjoyable

solid shifter base bushings
solid shifter bracket
bridgestone potenza pole position tires
r1 concepts cross drilled rotors/pads

and a full suspension also.

I have no complaints with my setup. made 265/249 and has done so and held up great

dont go right to a pulley. get supporting mods first THEN pulley down. or youll be browsing classifides for a LSJ
