Just contact Nate (nherbst). His website is www.smoothflowpulleys.com and buy at 2.9" polished pulley from him. The run like 50 bucks I believe. I am assuming you have gm stage 2 so you have the gm hub? The stage 3 pulley is 2.99" and is like 80-100 bucks new from crateenginedepot.com. Tons of people run a 2.9" with the gm stage 2 tune.

 

Yeah i am running stg 2 and i also have heard the stg 2 tune is good to run with the 2.9 for everyday driving is this right?

 

Yeah it will be fine. I have been running a 2.9" for a while now. I do have a cobra h/e too to help to keep it a little cooler. Just don't do back to back hard runs and you will be fine.

 

ok sounds good. Is that cobra h/e install a pain?

 

I have nates 2.85 had it on my car for about a year and a half... his pullies are VERY high quality!

And yes the 2.9 is safe to run on the Stg. 2 tune, but getting tuned will really open your car to a whole new level!

 

Are you running the 2.8 on the stg 2 tune or did u at all? Also maybe a dumb ? but what is the difference with all the pulleys on smoothflow? do some come with the hub n all that??

 

Yes you can get a pulley and hub set... but if you already have stage 2 just buy a pulley for the Stage 2 hub!

I did run the 2.85 on the stg. 2 tune for a little while before I got it tuned, and it was pushing the limits! But it's a 2.85 not 2.80" (which is what I will be running here shortly)

 

Ah well i dont wanna be pushing my limits as i am honestly happy with the stg 2 boost myself but how much does the 2.9 put u at (boost)

 

15.5-16 but you pick up more torqe and hp over the stg. 3

 

So Im running a k&n intake, ZZpheader d/p combo, n stg 2 with ngk plugs and custom 2.5in exhaust...after the stg 3 pulley how much power would u guess i would be putting down?

 

I'd prolly say 240's at the tire! With a tune more like 250-255!

 

ohh dang i was hoping somewhere around 260 but ah well sounds good enough...the bitch is quick i know this for sure...kinda sucks though my buddys with srts are putting down close to 300 those a holes

 

Has anyone installed their own pulley and hub? I am just going to build my own stg kit and was curious as to how to get the stock hub and pulley off. I know they have the tools for like $100 but is there anohter way to do it?

And you can run the 2.8 on a stg 2 tune, many of my buds have it that way now. You should be fine. And as said before if you tune it you will get more power and all. Nate's pulley's are Very good and have heard good things about them also.

 

ok thanks i will have to check those pulley's out. Anyone have a website for them? Well i think just by reading the only way to get the pulley off is to use the puller but im not 100% sure might wanna ask the big guns

 

Yea i have read about that and everything i just don't want to pay $100 dollars to use it once you know. And this is the site for Nate's www.smoothflowpulleys.com

 

oh ok so that is nate's site ok good deal thanks for all tha help

 

whats the difference between the stock hub and the stage 2 hub?

 

There is no "stock" hub, the stock pulley is a steel one piece press on pulley. The stage 2 kit includes a hub and a bolt on pulley. If you don't go with the stage 2 and want to make your own kit (injectors and a custom tune), I know a guy who can make you a complete pulley system with a stainless steel hub and billet aluminum pulley

 

how much?
