Getting a lot closer to doing the RennTech

I spoke to the installer and he can come to my house and install. What better
service than that. It looks like all I need to do is send out the ECU and when he's done with the pulley, reinstall. Is it that easy? I can't wait. I admit it costs but their numbers of after look really good. I'll post up when done.

You will love it! All I have is the Renntech pulley and I am way impressed. Have you considered a larger heat exchanger?

I just was at a Renntech dealer and the ECU upgrade is done in house via emailed file and upload through the diag.port. whole thing should take about an hour I was told. and you dont have to rip anything out and ship it off to get your ecu flashed.

Congrats on your RT upgrades. It's like driving a different car. Your next round should be a few cooling upgrades to keep that consistent power going.

I'm no Renntech expert, In fact i dont own any renntech parts. I walked in to dyno-comp here in AZ and spoke with the renntech guy who did my dyno run. the ecu takes about an hour and he told me that i will want to have it tweaked for optimal performance. What that means? IDK? but i'm guessing they would slap it on the dyno and go from there to make any adjustments. IF this is the case in your situation you should have done same day.
