I'm looking forward to seeing the results on this, Hooleyboy. Even though you've got a 55 and I'm driving a 32 I'm really enjoying watching your threads in your quest for more power.

Keep in mind it does take about 1 week for the ECU to adapt to lightweight crank pulleys simply b/c things are happening quicker than the ECU is normally used to, so doing back to back same day results won't necessarily tell you the whole story. You can help out this process by doing ECU reset and driving it aggressively for alittle bit, but usually full adaption takes about a week.

Im waiting for fedex to drop it off as we speak. then its to the shop for install. I hear i might need a new crank bolt from reading other posts. I got a bunch of mods to this car and i hear that helps with getting gains I really don't know what to expect with this mod. I will give a full review for you all as this seems to be a more budget friendly mod people will do.

For C55 you do not have to update bolt. Only on the older E55s & C43s do you have to update it, the previous crank bolt design sucked. your C55 already has the new bolt (#006 990 70 04) from the factory.
Check your MPGs now, I'd like to hear difference in MPG both city & hwy and at steady mph. should be interesting to hear your results.

Thanks for all the work though you're putting into documenting all these mods, it's a great source of info for the whole community here!
