SL55 splitter for C32

Has anybody tested the SL55 splitter alone with no other mods and recorded any horsepower gain as a result of this modification!

Splitter/Pulley Kit

You are saying that you are getting 7 whp from the SL 55 splitter and another 40 whp from the Pulley Kit. Is this correct??

Is the Pulley Kit from Kleemann or Renntech??

Pulley kits gain about that much, but i think the splitter only gives you that 7-10whp after you have Pulleys and Filters, which contribute to the same purpose...getting more air into the motor.

There are a few companies that have Pulley Kits for the C32... RENNTech, Evosport, Kleeman, ASP, and MKB are amongst the ones you will find people have on this board.

I have the RENNTech ECU and Pulley kit and im lovin it !!!

I have only the SL55 splitter and air boxes right now, and my car has dyno'd at 303hp, 298tq. I just ordered pulleys from ASP though, and they should be here by the end of April. I'm told to expect another ~30hp to the wheels--I can't wait!

SL Splitter

What was the total cost of the splitter and air boxes plus installation??

I am currently teaching road racing with a stock C32 plus RennTech springs and race rubber and running on Dyno mode plus 92 octane setting on the computer. The C32 will be of lease in a couple of month and I want to start making major mods to the C32.

how are the asp pullies? are they reliable? if they are why haven't many peopel purchased these since they are much cheaper than other pullies? Also do you have to do a ecu upgrade when you get the pullies installed? thanks in advance for any help--Afrim Delisi

I got a huge discount off the parts compared to buying them from the dealer. I have a family member that owns an auto body shop and he ordered them for me--saved quite a bit. They are very easy to install, so I did it myself. There used to be a thread here with simple instructions, but I'm not sure if it's still up.
