dont drive it with those 42's installed without the tune. the 2.9 can be installed before, just dont go over 12 psi boost before the injectors and tune. Without the tune, but with the 42's it will run WAY TOO RICH, and you'll probably end up either flooding the engine, or ruining the cat.
The car will run like crap. Try to install as much as you can (Such as the H/E pumps) and then put on the IM and blower when you get there. You don't really want to drive the car on a N/A tune with a supercharger installed. Your car will flip **** when (not if) you enter boost. It doesn't take that much to enter boost on a S/C'd car.
If you were going turbo, it'd be easy... just leave the charge piping disconnected until you got there.

Hey Dezzie.... Who are you getting to put on your pulley and tune your car for the 2.9 ? I also have a 2.9. Its not installed yet. But i already have the gm stage 2 so i was gonna put the 2.9 on soon and see how it works. I know the gm stage 2 tune runs rich. So i was hoping id be okay with the 2.9. I ask because your in Dartmouth and im from Sackville. So we are all of about 10 mins apart. And i only know of one or two people to tune these cars. Was just wondering who you have to do your tune for you ?
Just so you know, this is what my buddy datalogged on a stage ii tune with a 2.9 pulley:
This was a second gear pull.
IDC 120+.... Check!
IPW well above static.... Check!
And he has dual pass w/option b. Get the stage III tune.
