Want more low end torque

My current mods are in my sig and just are not cutting it. I am thinking about 60# injectors and a 2.6 pulley for my daily driver. Anyone else have a similar combination? My only issue is finding a good tuner in South Carolina.

the only problem i see with running a 2.6 on a daily car is efficiency. running a pulley that small is very hard on the blower. the amount of heat that it generated will cause you to heat soak quickly and we all know heat is the biggest power robbing factor. now if you were to run a 2.6 with a dual pass and option b you might be ok but you may even need to throw a front mount heat exchanger in the mix. 60s are enough to support a 2.6 but you need to make sure your tune is golden if this is gonna be your daily car. i forecast big problems especially if you are going to be tearin it up day to day. one thing always leads to another. the more you mod them the less reliable they get. thats why mine is just a money pit and i spend more time with my head buried under the hood in my garage than i do driving the damn thing

I forgot I dont hae in my sig a cobra heat exchanger too. I am not too worried about heat soak. I just do the random 1 or 2 gear pulls getting on the highway and such. I am mainly looking for power and torque from 2000-5000 or so.

Or I might just sell the cobalt and get a Ford Lightning. A few mods and instant 500 ft/lb torque. So many choices! Or spray, TVS...

Thanks for the help.

2.6 u need to machine down the m62's snout the ottp 2.7 you wont need to. but first start with header,down pipe, catback, and dualpass. you need a dualpass on anything below a 2.8
