so what is your setup anom

 

its changed alot in the last 6 months.
I ran a 2.8 with S2 for a while. but only on track days.
as soon as i was done i went back to the S2 pully.

right now im 2.8 with 60lbers.

 

How is that going for you? I was under the impression that you could run 42lbers with a 2.8" but needed a tune better than the GM tune?

 

****, if people realized stock what there idc's were the would **** themselfs.


To the op it can and has been done, but unless your pretty handy with tuning your going to want 60's

 

hmmmm so i could buy everything that comes with stage 2 but instead i would get a 2.8 and 60's and a custom tune and should be A OKAY

 

no point buying S2 if your going to go with 60lbers.

Stage 2 is brilliant for those wanting some boost and keeping warranty.

if you want more, and dont care much about warranty, its a waste of money

 

yeah **** 2.8's those are for *****'s anyway lol


sorry ano i had to

 

well see to me it seems like stage 2 isnt gonna be enuff even tho idk how much boost it gives you......i just wanna beat sti's evo's stang gt's you know what i mean haha

 

12s on 2.8 will change your mind lsj

 

you do your 12's i'll do my 12.5's maybe i might change your mind to lol

stangs are stock territory, evo's and sti's are stage 2 plus i believe. STage two gives you 15 psi

 

man 15psi for 800 bucks thats a rip off.....with stage 2 and a 2.9 will that beat evos n ****?

 

I would recommend you not to mod your car with an attitude like that....hp=money. Especially reliable HP...hell hp tuners alone costs $500...and thats just for the software to do a tune....so if you don't want to pay to play..don't.

 

yes i know that, but the stage 2 pulley is like 85 bucks for 15 psi

 

its not the psi that matters really, and thats not the only thing that is going to make you power. Pulley down to my size if you want power but it comes at a price

 

haha no im alright i dont wanna go broke.....what all do you have to run a 2.5 thats insane

 

Agreed its not the pulley your paying for...its the injectors, and the tune...plus the warranty...though if you want the best bang for your buck and have a local tuner near you (wish I did) I would go with the 60 lbers and a 2.7" pulley with a cobra h/e and intercooler plate.

 

but wouldnt u have to get the stage 2 belt with that n stuff

 

oversized tensioner

 

Yes you would...a belt I believe is $40ish or so...not sure...and if you don't want to get an ajustable tensioner I would recommend the 2.8" either way your going to be paying out about $700 for some good power....and honestly if you don't have many miles on your car right now and don't have a cool dealership I would just recommend stage 2 with a 2.9" and some cooling mods....that will bump you up to about 16 psi and about 250-260 hp i believe with header back.

BTW LSJ where did you get your oversized tensioner?

 

so you could get 2.7 and 60's and just slap it on with a custom tune and nothing else......everything would be ok


oooo ok nvm...thats what i was gonna do stage 2 with 2.9, i wanna beat evos and stis!!!!!!!!!

 

its not the power mods that cost the money like lp said its supporting mods.


I can tell you this i have over 4k into my car and the major powe rmods are as follows

2.5" pulley $50
meth $250
cti lt header & 3" catless dp $400

the rest is supporting catch my flow lol. meth could be to but there is nice power to be made with it

 

if you go 2.8 with 60s do you have to get meth?

 

intense, i only run that with the stock belt with no belt slip ever

 

No everything below a stage 2 I would recommend cooling mods and some exhaust mods...need better flow in the exhaust when you increase your hp.

 

nope, its nice to have though becuase there is some power to be made
