Intense recommends no lower then 3.10 inches. I trust their judgement... I was going to get a 3.0" pulley too but didn't know if it would do harm without new injectors...
and ya man turn the caps off next time.

So, 3" Pulley, NGK 1 step colder plugs and a MAF-T. That should do it.

You don't need a MAF-t. With a 3" pulley you are going to max your stock injectors. All a MAF-t does is trick the computer about airflow causing the computer to increase injector pulse width. The problem is the computer cannot increase the pulsewidth above the stock injectors capabilities. So the computer may tell the injectors to flow at 140% but they are still flowing at 100%. But hey if you really want a MAF-t let me know, 100 bucks shipped like new!!!

Guys all i'm saying is you either get a reflash or a MAF-T. You have to have one or the other or you will get a CEL. We get CELs from just an intake. Please take my advice i'm not making this up. I don't want to war with you guys over this.
How can you say there won't be a CEL with a 3" pulley and no reflash or no MAF-T when we get CELs from just an intake?

Me, I really believe that the CEL is caused by one of these 2 reasons:1) Aftermarket Intake pipe that disturbs the air flow too much because of the new MAF sensor location
2) Oil from the filter gumming up the MAF sensor
So I dont think that for a 3" pulley, that you would require a MAF-T or reflash. For a 2.9" pulley and less bigger injectors, yes absolutly. I know of 1 more guy here running a 3" only and the car runs perfect

you will definatley feel the difference, make sure you go get the gm os updat reflash, and get the ngk #7's and you will be fine. trust me I ran that setup for a while and never got a cel. plus we did some datalogging runs last night on a car with that and there were no problems

I'm running a 3" pulley and an intake. I am also using the stock plugs, runs fine, no CEL's.
Aside from the sound the intake increases, the 3" pulley was the best mod I have done so far. It wakes the car up a bit.

Personally, i wouldnt do things half-assed so-to-speak. Sounds like you need to get yourself GM Stage 1 or 2. You'll keep your warranty and not have to worry about messing with a MAF-T.
