I got an 06 with the GM stage 2. corsa catback exhuast. injen intake. stage 2 flash. i just bought a 2.8 from CA. ive heard mixed things bout it. that ill have to get it re-tuned. should i wait to install it and wait till i get my 60lbs injectors? any advice?

 

You'll need 60# injectors and some cooling mods to fully utilize that pulley. Without them your injectors will go static and you'll heatsoak very quickly.

Thats not to say you can't run it, it just won't be worth it without the proper supporting mods.

 

ya next on the list is a new H/E and 60lbs

 

You will definatly need 60's. I run an OTTP stage 2 with no cooling mods yet and my IAT2's are insanely high. Meth, dual pass, heat exchanger and option b going on this weekend

 

Thats a can of worms...

Best/Safe way to go is get 60's and a good tune along with cooling mods.

 

im prob gunna buy a h/e 60lb and a trifecta tune, i got a CAI. i cant rlly think of many cooling mods besides METH and i dont wanna do meth just yet

 

I hear heroin cools better anyways.

 

Get some 60s, any decent HE, and a good custom HPT dyno tune. You won't be disappointed if you do it right the first time.

 

i run 2.8 on mine with 60's but only zzp stage 1 h/e. runs fine no problems. just like some said earlier heatsoak doesnt take long, need more cooling mods. some day stage 3 and dual pass just to lazy lol.pulls hard as hell for one pass then getting passed by kia's lol

 

someone has jokes

 

well can u run it on there ? yes would be the answer....but do you really want to ? Naaah, listen to everybody's advice and don't... get 60's then some cooling mods " dual pass or single pass w/opt b " a dual pass heat exchanger if ur foot is always heavy on the gas, it will let u keep ur power longer...a good tune and meth if u want to and ur golden but hey with a 2.8 u needa make sure ur exhaust can support all this stuff...u dont want all the back pressure that the stock exhaust will give u" header and dp " u got a corsa catback so ur good with that...so invest some money in exhaust upgrades....watch ur expenses go up, if u want power u gotta pay the price...

 

Do flatter me.

 

Alright heres my set up.
Im running 60lbs with 2.8 pulley h/e and a tune from ott.
My car is great and it really pulls.
Hope it helps

 

ok now the war begins with 42s and 60s with a 2.8. my setup is 2.8, 42lb, duall pass, S3 HE, kn intake.
i've been running 42s and 2.8 for about 4 months now. the really only reson i can run these with out maxing them out is beacuse of my elavation. im sitting about 6800 above sea level. so my injectors arent maxed out, but im pretty sure there dam close. now for the cooling mods. they say you want to be around 120-130 at wot. so i had my iterceptor hooked up and went for a cruze, got her all hot and did a pull....at temp around 75-85*F i was pulling 150 IAT2. then i went home let her cool down a bit. then installed my HE s3 from zzp. after i got it finished i went and did another pull the next day, around the same temps. i was pulling 120-130 IAT2 at WOT. and 86 IAT2 just cruzen on the highway. now that the temps are around 80-90 my IAT2 are getting around 150 at wot. so it kinda show how the weather deals with your cooling. i wasnt a big believer of option b, but im starting to believe it will be worth it, to get it on.

 

well im gunna buy 60lbs next. then prob a zzp h/e with dual pass. with a trifecta tune. and we will see were i am at.
