waste of money if you ask me. check this thread out. that's my car (cooling mods, tune, cutout) vs a stage 2 car with 2.8 and i/dp/e. I haven't even started adding bolt ons yet. Just imagine when I do. Hell, Imagine when I add a 2.8 pulley!

the reason I think it's a wast of money is for 2 reasons.
1. no cooling mods first, so with the smaller pulley and stuff, you are creating quite a bit of heat. Heat means the car is less reliable and robs power.
2. gm tunes are shitty.

I will agree with you on that I had GM S2 with a 2.8 pulley it was much slower them friends 2.6, 60lbinj, and custome tune, BUT my new setup is GM S3 with a 2.9 and I stay ahead of him now. NO NITROUS
