Are you sure it was the 2.2 because the Stage 2 for the 2.0 includes those things, except with a smaller S/C pulley instead of an underdrive pulley?

I have my doubts about this....but if its true thats cool, cuz that means Gm has something planned for us 2.2s (why else would they include bigger injectors?)

probably, if you people want a pulley you don't want an underdrive anyways, get a lightweight pulley. Idk about comp control engines but for example on my mustang, with underdrive pullies at idle you can see that your headlights are dimmer, and your water pump don't turn as fast so your not as cool, but thats on a carb'ed V8, idk what the effects would be on one of our engines because i have never even taken the time to learn about our engines but i don't think it is something GM would warranty .

A couple months ago there was a rumor on here floating around from one of the GM Engineerings that GM was making a kit for the 2.2 that included Lightweight pulleys, injectors, and a performance tune, w/ another tune for N20. I'm trying to find it but I had heard about this and it's not just a LSJ Stage Kit.
Whats the Part Number so I can have some sources look it up.

if the crank pulley is smaller, it doesnt provide the belt with as much speed.
if it was bigger it would overdrive everything attached to the system.
and thanks for the complement
