when you put the pulley on did you have to change the belt size?
if yes what is the # belt you went to. ? jim

Plus, hes been waiting patiently for his tech to free up some time in his schedule to make this happen....
So... Toad... You should measure how much tread you have left on your tires, and log it along with AFRs, EGTs, IATs, boost, etc.

granted I haven't logged, so I am going off tribal knowledge on here...
i'm assuming that the pulley (which equates to a 168-172 range crank pulley for power) and the tune would bump power ~60-70HP; other minor adders like freer flowing filters, TTM scoops (for air at speed) - i'm pretty close to the 75 mark
but in all seriousness - what's the concern?

i think the rule of thumb was every 75-100HP added, you drop down one coldness level in plugs...

A tune + SC pulley won't give you that much hp. Maybe 40 - 50hp. Filters 0hp. You won't gain total 50hp. Get a header if you want some power.

maybe as FTP develops their headers

He's doing a remote base tune, and and in person dyno tune in SF on the 28th. Todd, I spoke with Dave today and he said everything is working perfect!
