i currently am debating on what i want to do for my next mod. help me decide. my current mods are in my signature. i really want to ditch my stage 2 and go with a custom tune and a smaller pully but i dont know the best route. this is my first attempt at modding a car, so im pritty green.

i was planning on running nates 2.9, dual pass, water/meth, some header/dp/cat combo (dunno what combo yet) and a short throw(dunno what one yet) where do u guys think these mods will put me. i dont wanna spend the $ and be disapointed. also can i stay on my 42.5 injectors with those mods? i really want to put down some mad power but like i said i dunno how i wanna go about it yet. any suggestions are appreciated. thanks in advance for all of your help!

 

2.9 ? rofl ... whats the point... wow not .01 of an inch, you'll really see that 1.5 psi.

go to a 2.7 which is same and tune from there, thats where u'll feel the car come alive.

 

I don't really know what advice to give you for next mods. IMO dual pass, and a 2.9 pulley from Nate would be a good combo next. Its always good to complete your header back to the tip of your exhaust with all high flowing performance parts. I see you have a upgraded clutch. How do you like the clutch and did you get a flywheel too?

Sorry but the GM stage II and a 2.90 pulley is a bigger differant then .01 of a inch buddy...and Nate's pulley is also alot lighter in weight.

 

Get the whole exhaust outta the way, get things breathing better first imo.

 

my bad. i ment .15 rofl...stupid keyboard.

 

No prob, do you know the size of the stage II pulley?

 

see i was also thinking about going with a 2.7 or smaller with 60s and a custom tune but i dunno anyone with a dyno round here and i have never used hp tuners. also i bought the hyper stage 3 combo and its bad ass. grabs like crazy. i def recomend it

 

I've got a 2.9" pulley to put on with 42.5 injectors soon as i order a header/dp combo. It'll be tuned with hptuners. I was wondering where to go from there. I was debating on meth/nitrous.

 

yes i do, its slightly smaller the 3.1 inches.

.1 = roughly 1 psi.

 

correct me if im wrong but the stage 2 pulley is 3.07"

 

that girl in hickoverlords sig is f*in HOTTTTT

 

HAHAHAH.

So true, it draws me to his post!

GM Stage II pulley 77.9mm = 3.06inch

So between a 2.90 inch pulley and and stage II pulley is .16 inches

 

It depends how much you want to pay ! 1000, 2000, 4000 ????

 

I say go full exhaust and let the car breathe some more before dropping pulley sizes. Also consider getting some cooling mods (dual pass, H/E, etc) out of the way before dropping pulley sizes. Thats just my .02 cents though haha.

 

So true...I know if I could go back in time I would beef up all the weak spots first. Once you start adding power like full bolt ons with GM stage II things can break. Just the way it is, specailly if your at the track a few times a season. I would of went with axles, mounts, clutch/flywheel for my first mods. Then started to get more whp.

 

well i prob wont see the track too often but i figure if i break stuff ill replace it with better stuff. im gonna look into h/e and dual pass for sure. i believe those are a must.
