Well the cold weather is starting to fade away a bit, and I'm going to be installing Stage 2 on the car before I start driving it again.

Now I have a 2.85 pulley sitting here too, now I know that some people say this isnt safe, but i'm wondering if I get the car custom tuned, and install a cobra h/e. Would that still be risking it abit?

I'm deffanately debating just keepin the Stage 2 pulley on..

(searched but couldnt find the exact info)

 

A tune with the stage 2 and a 2.85 pully? Some people have ran that on the stage 2 tune for awhile with no complaints. I wouldnt do it but with a tune, I wouldnt see it risky just as long as they know what theyre doing.

 

Deffanately tune it because of safety and my car ran like **** wthe Stage 2 and a 2.8 because the PCM pulled timing and DUMPED fuel.

 

I'd go with 60# injectors before going ANY size smaller than S2 pulley.

 

If you can get a tune why not do 60 and 2.8

 

I just hated the idle with the 60s.

 

^^^ a result of the tune no doubt

 

my car has been running stage 2 2.85 for a long time now without issues, but i also have a header, full exaust intake and cobra heat exchanger

 

Ya i'm not going to be able to get a full header back system for a few months, which is mainly another reason why im asking.. But I am trying to get my hands on a cobra h/e or I may just order the CX Racing one off ebay.

 

my question is why go with the stage 2 package but get a tune as well? (if you do so i would gladly by the stage 2 tune thou)

 

I hadnt planned to get a tune.. But I just got offered a pretty good deal on one, that I think I'm going to jump on.

 

The tuner can help improve upon the GM Stage 2 tune. Right now with 91 Octane there is lots of knock retard happening, the tuner could tune for no knock on 91 Octane, plus he can clean up the a/f a bit, remove tq mgmt, etc..

Plus he can better tune the ECU for the 2.85" pulley

I am planning on going with him to tune my car as well formy upcoming 60lb and 2.8" combo...right now I am running the Stage 2 and I am getting tons of knock on the 91 Octane fuel

 

lol ok i was like wth.... but ya if you end up getting both id be more then happy buying the sgate 2 tune off your hands

 

mine idles butter smooth.

 

If you end up tuning it, and since you have a 2.85 sitting there, you will end up paying $500 (or whatever your deal on the stage 2 is), for a belt and injectors.

A complete waste of money.

 

Ya i'm going to be installing the 2.85. Since were getting tuned I feel a little safer, and i've actually been asking some lowmo members about JD, and i've been told he's the best in the Maritimes. So that gives me some piece of mind.

I'd be willing to sell you the Stage 2, if I get tuned. Just dont really know how haha

I already have stage 2..

 

oh u already have the stg 2 installed?
