pulley question
alright. will a 3.15" pulley be fine on the stock injectors and tune?? i'm thinking about getting in on the billet flow sale and spending the $75 for a pulley and hub but they don't make a stock size.
I've currently got a group buy going for a pulley system for 81.00 w/free shipping and you can have ANY size you want.
Here's the thread...

let me put it to you this way. "stonny" down i south florida has a stage 2 pulley on stock injectors and tune and he has 154% Injector duty cycle. it runs hard as **** for such little work done to it though

well thats a 3", not a 3.15". it doesn't seem like a lot for buts halfway between stock and stage2. maybe i'll just get the 3.3" pulley and hub for now and just wait till i get some more money and get the pulley injectors and tune
On a stock tune the car will bleed boost to 12.5 PSI I believe. With that in mind, you should be fine with a 3.15" pulley. The injectors may run high IDC before boost bleeds off but you will reach higher boost numbers sooner in the RPM band giving you more mid range HP and TQ.
Yes, because you dont reach 12.5 automatically, it takes a couple thousand rpms..
So instead of being at like 7 at 4000, with a smaller pulley youll be closer to 9 or so, but still only reach the 12.5 mark.

just pull the boost bypass vacume hose and plug it. takes all of 2 mins. I pulgged mine 2 days after gettion the smaller pulley because I heard ad say it bleeding boost on the guage. It bleed to 10 psi
GM Stage 2 is 3.06
Not only will this kill your gas mileage, but pulling the boost bypass really isn't a great idea. Having air running through the SC at all times just creates more heat and wear on the SC. Also, on stock injectors you really don't want to be hitting 14~14.5 PSI or you will be running some insane IDCs.

Yesterday I finally got the full stg 2 setup. next is a 2.8 and a minor tune.
