O....
Whats the difference in performance with the LET crank pulley and the Code3 sc pulley? Do they both increase the boost? Sry for the noob questions...
Can you do a sc pulley and a crank pulley?
What plugs do you need if im going to run the LET setup?
Weres the best place to get the LET pulley, ecu and intake?
Thanks again

They both do increase the boost. The crank pully puts out more boost than the sc pully, but is much more difficult (professional) to install and more costly.
The sc and crank combo is still being tested. From last tests they still didnt equal power of the 185 crank pully.
Plugs need to be re-gapped if not replaced as they need to be colder plugs otherwise you will blow out the spark with the boost. (right vic) Search the forum for plugs, there is a lot of info
For LET gear, send a PM to amg-jerry.

Mase, I think the cost is pretty good. My two cents, if u can find stock go with that. Otherwise, kleeman is a reputable tuner so if you care more about having a uniquely modded c32, its a good deal for the mileage. I'm not too keen on all the headlight trimmings and wheel selection.

C32
First C32 is a great car. The mods he made are consistent with what many of us would do anyway to get more power. Ask if the owner still has the original wheels as they are nice and costly to replace.
I am not a huge fan of the all black concept with the grill, and badging but if it looks good to you then who cares. The black is one of the prettier colors in my opinion. The cars are fast stock. With the mods listed it will be silly fast. The strange thing is that these cars are so smooth and refined, that they do not feel as fast as they really are. You need a Cobra or a Vette beside you so that you can guage the speed better as they fade away behind you, lol. The C32 is not unbeatable but for the size and money it is one of the faster 4dr sedans around.
That price is fair but in today's market you should be able to negotiate a little off unless you have already been bitten, then you may as well pay the man cause it is hopeless.
