This looks like a safe place for a Kleemann/HPS showdown

I was going to do the autocross at Hollywood Park on the 15th. If I get my pulleys before the 14th I might be there. Otherwise, I already know what my car does in the 1/4, been there done that.

Anyone who plans on attending this event, and would like an unfair advantage, please call or email me. I have 3 installation slots available for the Friday before, and would be able to install your kits before you go to the track on Saturday. The upgrade will retail at $1699, however this month, we have it on sale for the introductory price of $1399. Installation will take 3.5 hours @ $85/hour ($297.50).

Thanks!

Ben

Ben,
Shots as in NOS? Can you provide more details on the kit? I assume most of the C32s going are stock. If you have a modified version, I would like to see how it perform against stock C32s. If the results are good, we might all consider modifying our cars. Thanks.

Vadim should be there with our C32. The advantage I was referring to is our ODPS which should be released next week. We have a few local customers with kits on order, so I reserved Friday, in case any of them wanted to have their kits installed before they went to the track.

ODPS – OverDrive Pulleys System has been in development for the last six months. You can follow the progress at this link:

ODPS R&D

All of the pulleys are made from T6061 billet aluminum and hard anodized for longevity. They are black in color, for factory-like appearance.

Parts list:

1. 7’’ Crankshaft Billet Aluminum Pulley – it is 13% larger than stock, 7 lbs. lighter and adds 2 lbs. of boost in first two gears, 3 lbs. in third and 4 lbs. in 4th gear.

2. 13% smaller water pump pulley - to clear larger crankshaft pulley.

3. 13% larger alternator pulley – to keep alternator at stock speed.

4. Stock size power steering pulley – there is no clearance to make it bigger. It is however 1 lb. lighter than stock pressed steel one.

5. Two belt tensioners - sized to keep stock belt size.

6. An assortment of hoses, connectors and clamps to convert windshield washer bottle into extra intercooler coolant reserviour.

7. Full instructions.

Peter, You still need to work on your 60' time
13.4 is definitely doable.

My 60 ft. times are similar to yours, so it seems like your wider tires aren't helping much. Could be slowing you down because of weight I'm assuing the 19" wheels with tires weigh more than the stock combo.

roOzy,
ODPS not ready yet.
Vadim was there but his C32 was still in the shop getting some work done.

JustinTRW
the 19"s are definitely heavier then the stock 17"s.
i do wonder how much whp i lost with the extra weight.
can you post your time slip for comparison. thx.

amgc32
my goal is to run 13.3-13.4 stock.
you should have stayed longer!!! the weather was cooling down in the afternoon to about 66 degree.

I don't have a timeslip, but here are my 1/8th mile numbers:
Reaction: .688
60 ft: 2.240
MPH: 83.02
ET: 8.812

All very terrible numbers. The temperature was 64 degrees at Qualcomm stadium. I was ready to do better the next time I went out, but the temperature dropped below 60, and I could spin my tires at 30 mph.

PC527, from the pic above it looks like the cars with open hoods have plastic bags on the supercharger. Is this a new mod I did not hear about?

I thought I would crack the housing by putting such a cold object on such a hot one. What am I missing?
