an0malous

nope.

the required torque on them is what...12lbs or something?
and with that tight ass belt on there, I see no point in it personally.

KillerBee

ok thanks casue i did not see any when i took off my blue bolts to install my 2.9 pully its 15lbs of tq to be exact that is what is on the stage 2 kit paper anyways

bigrroberto

good to know

Coblt ss super

the guy who did my pulley install put removable lock tight because he wanted to make sure it was good

KillerBee

Coblt ss super

no, sorry

the blue loctite is the loctite that you can remove the bolt from without to much of a struggle the red loctite is more of a permanant thing so dont use red go blue...o and make sure you just put a drop on otherwise you might have a problem getting the bolts out

KillerBee

see that is the thing i dont like is that it will be harder to take out the bolts in the long run but they did not put any on the blue bolts with my stage 2 kit and tha is what i used to tighten the pully down so i think i am good just gotta keep an eye on there everyonce in a while

i have had no problems and tightened the stock bolts on a Nate 2.9" pulley

Doc

I used red lock-tite on my billet-flow 2.7. I didn't need to, just to be cautious. It wasn't too bad removing the bolts but I can't get the stuff out of the theads. I've switched to another hub since then.

if you tighten the bolts good and check the every once in a while you should be fine...when i put on a 2.9 pulley tho i think im gonna just put a dab of blue on to be safe o and if you just put a drop on of blue your safe they will not come out on there own but it wont be like bolt death getting them out just a bit tougher...congrats on the 2.9 pulley man im jealous cant wait to get mine

07cobaltss

no point man, those bolts are not coming out bratha

ssaddiction

haha your probably right but i just always like to be extra safe...just dont want something rediculous to happen and leave me with a f'ed up car and way more $ than i have to fix it

so on the other hand 07cobaltss how do you like the 2.9 pulley make a noticable diffrence? im looking to get one very soon

I put a little blue loctite on mine just to be safe.

im happy to hear you did 06 SS S/C wanted to make sure i wasnt going crazy and wasnt the only one to use blue lock tite... haha

07cobaltss

i love it man, great power adder. and i love the polished look. to me its the safest pulley but that can be argued allll day.

ssaddiction

haha yea i hear the flaming coming haha but i do agree and most people will that it is the safest smaller pulley to run on the stage 2 kit other than going bigger which defeats the purpose of the stage 2 haha but im happy you like it man i cant wait to order mine...going with polished for sure they look so good, and im happy to hear you can feel a diffrence power wise due to it its awesome for only $50-55 now with the stage 2 hub can do alot

So how do you guys like the 2.9? Im debating on which pulley to get...

ssaddiction

if you have stage2 a 2.9 pulley is the way to go and alot of people are saying it makes a pretty good gain over the 3''stage 2 kit pulley. almost everyone will agree that you shouldnt go smaller than a 2.9 pulley with 42lb injectors due to it completely maxes them out. i would recomend buying the 2.9 pulley from nate thats where everyone is ordering theres from there good pulleys and only $50 (polished is $55) and he ships very fast. if you want to go to a smaller pulley get 60lb injectors and i would go with a 2.7 pulley and a custom tune. hope this helps you out

EDIT:nates 2.9 is my next purchase because i dont want to put 60lb injector on have something happen and void my warranty with a pulley you can get away with it easily because you can change back to the stock pulley in 15 minutes if need be

Doc

I've seen more than a few come out.
search....

JeromesCobalt23

the stage 2 injectors are the 42lb injectors right?

KillerBee

the GM stage 2 injectors are 42.5 lbs i believe

KillerBee

holy batman a old thread hahahahha i also used a black marker to mark the bolts so i can see if they moved but i have not used loc tight or anything and they have not broke loose yet

halfj99

theres TONS of different red loctites
