i will be getting a tune on my car soon...i will be getting a hi flow cat then i should have all the performance mods i will be getting for a while....my mods are in sig...should i use the 2.85 in the tuning process? or stick with stage 2 pulley? i still have the 42# injectors...and after i get tuned and say i get a header and downpipe..do i need to get tuned again?

 

just leaning the stage 2 tune alone will get you close to 10whp, plus your duty cycle will be down a bit as well

 

i was gonna get 60# injectors but my dad thinks my car is fast enough and i need to save....

bump.....am i wasting money for the tune or should i do it?

 

ohh yeah big waste, your car is not near what u need to have 60's...save your money and get your bolt ons first kiddo.

a tune will open up alot on your car, with 42's full bolt ons and smaller pulley you can net some GOOD whp from a GOOD tune.

 

well i want a header and downpipe..but i dont want my car extremley loud and i want the whine lol..

 

whipser resonator, what kind of cat back do you have? mm magnaflow exhaust..with a high flow cat in a new downpipe it wont make much noise

 

ill look into it...

 

I would disagree!! a stage 2 with 2.85 pulley puts the 42.5lb/hr injectors at or above 100% duty cycle. I went with the 60lb/hr injectors just for that reason! I would say that a tune and some 60's would be worth in IMO.

Dont want those injectors to go static and cause damage at a high rpm!

 

so what do i do? i cant get 60#'s

 

well go with a 2.9" pulley...not much difference hp wise, better for the injectors...also if you just had a tuner lean the cars air/fuel ratio out a bit so you are running a 11.2-11.5 that would take down the duty cycle of the injectors a bit as well.

If you have the money to spend go with a tune and 60's. If not just drive the car! I put a year and a half on my stage 2 2.80" pulley setup with no issues!

You shouldnt have to retune after adding exhaust mods! Just go with a 2.9" pulley

 

why can't you get 60's again?

 

get 60's, headers, and then tune.

 

I think you should get 60's and put the 2.85 on there. Seems to be proven safe with a tune. You will probably see ~250 hp...

 

i got college coming up and all that

 

Ahh, yeah thats important.

As for the car stick to the 42's,2.9 and a tune, but like a broken record you will be maxing or close to maxing the injectors.

 

so the 2.9 would be better than the 2.85?

 

whats up venom , remember me ???

 

then leave the car as is.

 

Get header/downpipe and get a tune with the stage 2 pulley.

 

Some people run a 2.85 and 42's, but with anything lower than a 2.9 I would feel comfortable with 60's. Since they are out of the picture for you, I'd stay with a 2.9, headers down pipe, and a tune.

Good luck bro
