Unless you want to be doing a rebuild on your motor, i wouldnt.

dont go below a 2.9 pulley on the stage 2 tune.

I have the 2.8 pulley boys, that was built specifically for the GM stage 2 hub.

25000 miles, problem free.

I have 37000 miles on my car, and trust me when I say Ive driven this car HARD! atleast 10 track trips, which = 60+ runs.

Much street racing (in my past)

lead foot driver

stage 2 tune, intake, exaust, high flow cat (think I shot the catalyst out the back tho lol), high flow DP, Header, 2.8 inch pulley, etc etc etc.

Stock clutch too, just as strong a day 1.

I run 13.4's, so you can imagine the power I am making, and havent had to "engine rebuild"

I think the 2.79 would be fine, but if you go lower, you will definately need to get tuned.


I look at it like this. Stock 32 lb injectors handled 3.3 inch pulley. to go to a 3.0 (gm stage 2) 42's were needed. so dropping down to 2.8 is borderline new injectors, but you should be able to get by scott free.

just go 2.9....2.8 you wont see much change form 2.9. You wont strat to see high PSI gains from the 2.9-2.8 until you get the 2.7 or lower which you will need the 60#'s and a new tune...
