mod questions
I know your going to say type it into the search but i need a detailed answer. im 18 and a senior in high school, i work 30 hours a week and make the payments on my balt. Im not going to be able to just drop a grand on stage 3 or a bunch of **** at once like alot of people can do. basically i want to pick apart the stage kits little by little. I already have the zzp 3 inch intake. i want to be able to run atleast a 2.8 pulley. i want to be around 260-280 hp when its all said and done. im not sure what i should get next or buy first because everything is made to support different things. if someone could help that would be awesome! thanks
a dual pass is not needed a extra h.e. out front is not needed just move the stocker in front of your ac condenser and your not going to make that kind of power on a 2.8 and pump gas you will have to put it on e and go smaller on the pulley and if its your only car then keep it sane sty 2.8 or 2.9 and be happy and you do need to search and educate yourself so you can make a better informed decision on your own

And no once u change injectors or go smaller pulley you need a tune
^^bigger injectors

Dont use trifecta. Since your in MI go to zzp and have them tune you. Get a set of 80lb injectors, 2.8 pulley and tune for e85. I have a stage 2 belt if you want to PM me. I also can make you a dual pass if you wish

I would also recommend getting it tuned at a shop, not just a canned. But for those kind of numbers you will need E85 (as mentioned above) or meth injection, which is what I have to do, to compensate for our shitty 91.

280 wheel takes a lot more than a 'stage 3' upgrade.
to make that kinda power you need a header catback, run e85 through 80# injectors, run a 2.8 or 2.7, have lots of cooling mods, intake, semi agressive tune...
what i would do man is put on parts for now that don't require a tune, like do all the cooling stuff intake and exhaust for now and then save up for the injectors, pulley and tune do that all at once

Of course before you stage the balt (injectors, pulley down, tune, and smaller belt), you should eliminate some exhaust restrictions. I was also 18 when I had first bought my balt, the first things I did were the airbox mod, catback, and headers/dp. For the DP I went 2.5 with a high flow cat, coupled with ZZP's midlength header. I was in the same situation as you haha.

if you all want to go fast get out of the staged mentality

Car payments,18 and in HS. Spend the money on paying that thing off. Search used parts and have the coin saved for a dyno tune. Do it all at once. Throwing a pulley on without fuel, tune and cooling mods will get you a ticket on that yellow bus.
Well with a 3.1" pulley, 60lb injectors, airbox mod, ZZP midlength headers/2.5 high flow catted dp, and catback I was putting down about 255whp (tuned at ZZP). At one point I upgraded to a 3" catted downpipe and the BadMab shorty header, didn't notice too much of a difference honestly. The header and dp do make a difference though, how much I honestly can't tell you.
nope
a dual pass dose not do **** to control how hot iat2 gets or how fast it gets hot the only thing a dual pass is good for is recovery nothing more if you want better temp control add capacity and an option b wont do that it its good for bleeding the system
