i am thinking about the pully kit from modern performance, its 139.00 for the kit
the injectors either 60 lb for 229.00 or delphi 42 lb injectors for 179.00
the stage 2 kit is too expensive, and there is a dyno down the street from here.
my ? is will i need a smaller belt for a 3.0 pully
and what will i need for the computer calibration
let me know some details please

no need for a smaller belt.....a bump to a 76mm tensioner will help but thats not 100% needed eather...

and yes you will need an ECU reflash for that kit...

any time you swap injectors you will need to adjust the ECU for that.

well your best bet is to get a "stage" kt or sorts from intense or C.A. because they will re-flash your ECM for you...

if you decide to do it your way and only change a few pieces instead of pulley and such then you will need a custom tune done because of your semi-uneak set up.

well then it sounds like your going to make a stage kit...weather you want to call it that or not.

it will be easier for you to just buy a CA or intense stage kit with the new ECM or send in your to get re flashed unless you have access to a dyno and HPT and somebody real smart to do your tuning.

HPT=HPTuners

its the only software out that allows access to our ECM so we can tune the car.\

its a fairly involved and advanced software
