Upgrading to the 2.9

Going down to a 2.9 pulley until the Cobalt is paid off

Was going to get 50# injectors

Get the GM S2 Belt

Do I need the modulary pully system?
Over sized pulley?
Adjustable tensioner.

I E-mailed ZZP and I never received an answer just talks about future set up and what I should buy then.

If you're buying from zzp, you need the modular pully system, the other two you do not need. You need a tune as well. New plugs arent a bad idea either. I'd suggest to just purchase a kit from zzp. Its not that expensive and the best idea yet. If you're still under warranty a GM certified stage 2 install isn't a horrible idea but a bit more expensive. Look around, some dealers do it for less.

correct me if im wrong, if you have an oversized tensioner you use your stock pulley belt, if you use your stock tensioner you get a GM genuine stage 2 belt?


could you use a stage 2 belt and over sized pulley tensioner?

going to be runnin a zzp 2.9 pulley also

If you get the oversize tensioner you use your stock belt. Note that the "stage 2" belt that ZZP gives you is a piece of crap. I only got about 6K miles out of mine before it started falling apart (I am not the only one to experience this). I highly recommend skipping this and buying a real GM Stage 2 belt.
