2.8 pulley question??????????????

So ive been looking around and keep finding so many different answers. What else will i need to do to run a 2.8 inch pulley. I currently have a full exhaust, cai, stage 2 clutch, and gm stage 2. Will i need bigger injectors or can i run the 42lb, i dont race all the time.

you can run the 42s, but you'll be putting out a lot less power in order to keep them safe and happy. i ran the 2.8 on only....well, nothing. i just had the pulley and 60s for about 2 months with no issues. but he also tuned me with that in mind. and then after i got my last mod i got retuned. go ahead and get a h/e and option b style tank, or get 60s.

no it will not be okay. if you want to pulley down but keep everything else the same put a 2.9 on there. if you want the 2.8 you're going to need a tune regaurdless if you switch to the 60s or keep the 42s
