well the question is still at hand????
tensioner or no tensioner....................people say no, not with this kit?? yes/no????

im getting the s/c pulley on tmrw by silver ss(thanks man) and my friend is doing the injectors and the sparks .
oh whats the gap on the pluggs again??????? .35 or .40???? i forget
The onlything that is getting put on at the dyno shop is the maf-T, then the nice tune.

 

Bdwarr6- Can you give a breakdown of the part #'s for stage 1 & 2 kits?
Also, do you know what the gap for the spark plugs are?

 

Here is the question of the day.

WHY worry about it since all the cars including mine that I have put the 2.8 on have NOT had belt slip issues?? Just some food for thought. You guys panic to easy

 

well lastnight silverSS and I got the injectors and 2.8 pulley on!!!!
The car runs pretty good without a tune, but im leaving the stock spark pluggs in untilll i get it up to the shop for a tune this afternoon.
At first it was hard to start the car(to much fuel) but then it was ok. Not one code!!! I was pretty amazed!! Its got amazing tq in 1st, i wish i could use it but my clutch was slipping b4 i put this kit on so it looks like im a 2nd gear runner now. In 3rd gear it feels like i stomped it in 2nd!!! just amazing power and allso NO TUNE/Codes either!!!
the belt slipped a little when i started it up..........but then after about 15mins of just idle it was fixed itself.
at 1st every time i shift i get a slight slip at 6600rpm kinda like a BOV LMAO. its kinda funny, but it went away.

 

rev it up has an idler pulley in there kit....maybe u should buy that?

I got a question for you power gurus. I just raced a 2005 RL with the Intense kit, K&N Typhoon, and a 2.5" exhaust with magnaflow muffler and GMPP Header and he beat me by a car up to 120. Can you guys explain why this is so???????

In case you can't read my sig, I've got an AEM SRS and a 2.9 BilletFlow Pulley, and NGK BKR7E plugs gapped at .045

 

Your 2,9" pulley with stock injectors makes you run in the ideal air fuel ratio for most of the mid and high rpm's (on your 2004 Redline).

His car maybe not tuned well, he is probably too rich for most of the powerband. And a 2,9" pulley vs a 2,8" pulley is not much of a difference.

 

He has the BilletFlow 2.7 on his car

 

Oh boy I can see the drama starting already. Me personally though I can't wait to see the track times people are getting with those kits. I'm guessing lower than avg with high traps.

 

lol, seriously I want his car to whoop my a$$ and I'm kind of angry that it doesnt. That and I'm proud of my little beast for never letting me down

 

What do you weigh versus him???? In these cars, every little bit makes a big difference!

The tune makes a difference and over time, you'll be replacing engine parts before him AKA LEAN!

 

I definatley way more with my competition system in the trunk

also I wont be divulging any specific information but let me tell you he will be replacing his parts before me

 

A 2,7 pulley with the stock MAP untuned runs probably a way too retarded timing ...

 

He has the intense racing kit. Is that what your talking about or no?
