^ If your going to go that route, then buy a hub and smaller pully too, like a 2.9 or 3.0in
Edit: Intense has a modular pully system for $100, that comes with whatever size pully you want. Then you can get extra pullies for $60. There are other places too.

Rescale the "Injector Flow Rate" table for the new injectors, remove some of the supercharger's torque management and raise the redline and you have yourself a near-GM Staged tune.

If you aren't worried about warranty then don't buy the GM stage kits. You can get a similar setup for a few hundred less. It is a good kit, but the reason why most people have them is because if your dealership installs it they won't have a reason to deny you service. Although some still do.
ahh, well i have no skill at all with this kind of things but even i could change injectors, so i dont see any point in paying GM to do it, and enless they can prove that the mod is what caused the problem they cant void your warrenty just for upgrading parts. at least thats what the sticky on this site about warrentys says

So, if you're already going to go there to get the tune anyways, then why would you try to install it yourself? If you have a good dealership it will only be a little more expensive for them to do the whole job. What there's no point in is trying to save $150.00 by installing yourself and then having to fight later on to protect your investment in the car, because they will try to blame you.
You'd be suprised how many people "Could change the injectors" and really screw up doing it. I'm not trying to be rude at all, just giving my opinion based off of facts that I've seen.
Edit: I'm talking about if you get the Stage II kit. With the stage I kit I wouldn't take it to the dealer; especially if you have a friend that can actually tune. You are right about the fact they have to prove the aftermarket part caused the problem but answer this: If you had a problem with your engine and you have a 2.8" aftermarket pulley on, would you take it to the dealership as is, or would you swap your stock pulley back in?

You pay GM to do it because they have to install the tune for you, and don't forget about having to press off the stock pulley and press on the hub.
