yep 60's.

you need a pulley puller.

you would need a tune as well.

I recommend getting the pulley and pulley puller from here:

http://www.smoothflowpulleys.com

or you can find everything you will need here:

you "CAN" run a 2.8 on 42s, with METH, and a damn good tune! But.... that sacrifices every day drivability!

Yea I would get a stage 2 belt. You can also get a larger tensioner pulley instead if you want to do it the cheaper way.

They provide a tune with it and everyone seems to have good luck with it. You may want to consider some other mods before you do a stage kit such as exhaust and a larger heat exchanger.

I think the stage 2 belt should work. Im not positive on a 2.7 though. Im not going below a 2.8.

I would pay the extra charge and send in your PCM after the install, then they will refund you the money once they get it.

Most people remove the torque management and do a 7,000 RPM redline.

You have to get a case relearn done and a security relearn done after the install as well.
