shaun is much closer to you than I am.
go and get a tune from him already
what pulley setup do you have in mind?
lol nothing set steven still saving up for the stage 2,h/e,dual pass option b, and rotated mount.lol. Right now I would just be being tuned for intake,header,3inch dp,catback, and ported blower and tb.lol. I am gonna get the Gm stg. 2 and than do a custom retune on that and I would like to go down to like a 2.9 pulley maybe. you still have that pullley for sale? Oh and I have a spare pcm to be tuned on.lol

shaun has plenty of gm stg2s he can flash you with
if your that concerned w/ legality. I cant imagine blue bolts being that hard to find.
unfortunately i got rid of my 2.9 long ago.
-------
If you just wanna go w/ a stg2 pulley. Honestly, and this is seriously being honest here. Save the cash... buy the pulley n hub, some 60s, h/e, and the rotated mount.
There isnt a need for a option b or dual pass on a 3". Saves you roughly 200-300 bucks right there.
get those items, then get a tune.
do not bother wasting your money w/ gm's stg2 reflash.

Well, I not to sound *******-ish, but I dont pay attention to ppls mods until you become my customer. Gotta take care of the ones who paid more so than the ones who haven't, i'm sure you understand though.
Anyways, You can run 42 lbs injectors, but from a tuner stand point here in cali, we really struggle with keeping them in check with anything but a 3.0 and above pulley. A 2.9 pulley puts then at 118 injector duty cycle with a fair 11.5-11.6 afr. I would feel more comfortable tuning with 60s, merely cause I dont want your injectors to have sort of freak accident and stay stuck open. But if your adamant on your 42s, I can tune you to the best of my abilities and do my best to see that your running safe.
As for tools on changing out those parts.
A ratchet
10mm socket
crescent wrench for fuel rail nut
Shop towels
15mm open end for the belt tensioner
and a set of allen keys, or stage 2 tool to take off those screws.
Keep it in a backpack in your truck....You should be carrying tools in your car anyways, just in case, lol.

I also know how he tunes, I don't wanna use the word **** retentive, but my god is he ever spot on when it comes to tuning. If you ever get a chance to work with Area, I would def. jump at the chance. It's thanks to people like him who have helped me progress to where I am now.
Enough of my ode to Area. Canned tunes aren't the best out there. Im sure some can get you close, but from what i've seen, regardless of how close one can get, theres still alot more to gain. The tuner/customer relationship should be a 1 on 1, face to face basis. Of course, like I posted above there are exceptions to the rule. But those are far and few in between. The best route hands down, is to find a good tuner in your area, and put your car in his hands. If hes even half good, his results will yield better than what most vendors can supply you with.
On the contrary, Im not an Area47 nutswinger, But I respect him and his tuning very much. Alot of ppl have problems with him, but asides from all the "drama" that surrounds him, hes knows his **** about these cars, and he def. knows his tuning. Area has also always helped me whenever I was in a rut, or needed some help, hes never turned me away.
