Without a front mounted heat exchanger to help negate the extra heat caused by the supercharger turning more rpms than it was originally designed to deal with due to the smaller pulley, this set-up will be useless and dangerous. Your intake air temperatures will be extremely high and will rob you of a lot of power. I would also highly suggest a dyno tune as opposed to buying a PCM. You will get a much better set-up from a dyno tune than a tune in the mail. Trust me

Even with a 2.9 you need a front mounted heat exchanger along with the 60's and a tune. I was running the 2.9 on the GM stage 2 tune and when I dynoed it, I dynoed at 190hp because it was running very lean and very hot. Coolant was shooting out of the overflow tube from then stock heat exchanger and that was after just one run. You can run a 2.9, but you need a front mounted heat exchanger, 60's and a tune.

Why not 2.9 with 60's and then you have room to drop pullies if you desire? And you dont HAVE to have a heat exchanger and 60's to run a 2.9. Is it smart? Yes? Do you HAVE to have them, No!.

My dyno and, air fuel ratios, spark plugs, and the fact that my car pulled a massive amount of timing out says otherwise.
