With the 2.8" pulley you'll need the GM Stage 2 belt, 60lb injectors, one step colder spark plugs, ZZP tensioner (maybe, depends on belt slip), and like said above, a tune. I would also recommend some sort of traction mods to help out with the added power.

60lbs with the 2.8 is overkill.

Don't know about a tune in Philly, but I'd say go for 50's with the 2.8
You can use a 2.8 with aftermarket 42's up to 6500RPM. 60's, I agree, are overkill. A set of 50's would be just fine up to 7K and even higher. But with stock valvetrain and bottom end, you don't want to rev past 7K...
EDIT: Damn Area, you beat me to it, nice info though...You are rep'ed...

zankies man.
msd part number 2013
also, ford motorsports uses the same injectors as msd. just some food for thought. they just have to be high impedance

if you do a 2.8, intake, and full exhaust, you won't need a bottle

Guy's,
Lets clear something right now about this 60# Injectors are too much crap.
I have been tuning for quite a while....done stock....done 42# injectors and now 60# injectors.
IF you are boosting more then 15PSI you need 60# injectors to have a safe IDC (Injector duty cycle) enough said. I have the scans to prove this...
Example: my 2.6" pulley makes max of 19PSI with 60# and 21 degree of timing am sitting at 77% IDC.
The price difference is what between 42# and 60#? 60$ maybe BIG deal if that puts you in a safer enviroment why not. 2$ a day of saving....think about it.
50# injectors are a waste of time and so are 42# trust me on this....everybody here almost....are boosting over 15PSI!!
I cant say this enough people....this is not B.S this is real facts.

I live in MD and can tune your car just search up RON9919 and you will see all the rave about my tunes.
and def go with 60's screw the other injector sizes.
