Is there a reason you guys love Stage 2 so much? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get the injectors and a 2.8 pulley separately? Unless your getting GM Stage 2 dirt cheap, it's almost a waste.

Almost everyone I see that gets GM Stage 2 eventually gets a 2.8 pulley and new tune anyway.

I am sure the reason is tuning, but so many people these days have HPTuner's and are willing to throw a tune on.

yep, would be much cheaper that way. for some reason people love to get the stage 2, even if they know before they get the stage 2 that they will be using a smaller pully kills me even more the people that get a stage 2, then buy a pully, then buy 60#'s and hp tuners.

3.1" + 42.5# + HPTune > Stage 2

It doesn't take much to be better than stg 2... but people will buy it for the warranty.

Eh, over spinning the blower is over-rated. Nothing some maintenance won't fix. Might not be the most efficient power, but none the less it does give you more power rather cheaply.

We have around 10 LSJ's here that are running 2.5 pullies for 2 years now with no problems.
