Want your opinion....
I am looking into buying a 2.8" pulley kit. Can I get some feedback on what setup to go with? I will be also be buying a catback and stage 1 soon in conjunction with this mod. Do i need a belt tesioner. I noticed that intense-racing didn't have any tensioners on their site.....

You do need a belt tensioner with a 2.8, there should be some for sale on ebay. I got the pulley and tensioner from the guy on ebay and everything works great. The new billet pulleys look good though, i would be very interested in getting one of those if I had not already purchased the one I have. For a cat back I would go with corsa, just depends on the amount of money you want to spend. Good luck

No you don't need a tensioner, you don't need the stage 1 kit. The intense kit has everything, and you can tune your car with it aswell. I have the intense kit and a CAI and i must say it will be better that a GM stage 3 kit at about 1/3rd the cost. Simply dont get stage 1, dont waste $ on tensioner. I get 0 belt slip with my kit from hoosier/intense

BW no offense man but do you know what comes in the stage 1 kit? bigger injectors and a ECU reflash. So if you dont want to get that thats on you, but it would definately add horsepower and such to your current setup.
