For the track, I can understand a 2.6, if you have 'non-reusable' cooling mods, to put your coolant below ambient... other wise your gonna cook the intake charge, thus loosing power.

Yeah. Anything much less than a 3 inch is more or less over spinning the blower's capabilities. You'll wind up having to swap out your coupler, s/c oil and rotor bearings every 3 months to keep it all running primo. That's a setup for a strict friday night track car.
You might be better off with a TVS if you really want to justify needing that much freeflow at the back. Otherwise, stick with a conservative exhaust setup, mild pulley, and make your work inside the head, and tune your timing to a nice healthy powerband.

I was told by Intense racing and Cobalt Addiction that running a stage 5 kit with the 2.5" pulley was ok even for a daily driver. i also plan on having a cai, full 3" exhaust, heat exchanger, dual pass end plate, possibly meth, and i think thats it. I was told that it would be fine!!! I want this car to scream and be able to beat almost anything on the road except ofcourse the suped up mussle cars.

They told you that because they want your money.
Your **** will blow up in a month with a 2.5 and a mail order tune.

i would recommend a port and polish of the blower as well to keep iat's down some more. from my understanding a 2.5 is over-spinning the blower big time, and may require a lot of regular maintenance to the blower. pm lsjwannabe if you want to run that set-up on a DD. he had a 2.5 for a while, and he still may.

Well unfortunately I wasn't home to say hello and good bye to the USPS DRIVER. So I'll be picking up my header at my local post office tomorrow morning/afternoon.
