about to buy 2.79 pulley and colder plugs...need reassurance

Yeah, I just want the reassurance that my Stage 2 tune will support the 2.79 pulley that I'm about to get, along with the 1 step colder NGK plugs. My current mods are in my sig, and I'm getting custom 2.5" catback installed on Friday.

Is my car gonna be ok???? I don't want to lean out too much, although I'm doing this partially cause I'm sick of the rich-ass stage 2 tune...opinions????

This 2.79" pulley will fit the GM Stage 2 hub - It is made out of 6061 Billet Aluminum and Hard Anodized for wear resistance - There is 77.9 MM engraved on the face making it look like the stock 3" GM Pulley - It is CNC machine to 0.001" accuracy and designed to withstand high RPM - The side walls of the pulley are 77.9MM or 3” in diameter - The top of the groove has a diameter of 2.79” . These have been proven to run great on the GM stage 2 reflash as it is very rich fuel wise to start with and this will bring you right into the correct AFR . Will bump you up to 17.5psi !!!!!

^^^^taken from Cobalt Addiction website...also the colder plugs should help eliminate knock....

You can get a 2.9 thru ZZP or go with Nate as mentioned.

2.990 is the stage 3 GM pulley, I'm pretty confident this is correct. Look it up on GM crate engines website.
2.900 is safe with the stage 2 tune. Some on this site are running 2.8's without problems but I believe you have to consider altitude, where you live. This probably works great say in florida, but would not in Denver.

Do some research on the GM websites, most safe modifications are listed.
