So my little borther has a C32 , he would like to add a few perfomance upgrades. I haven't been in the C32 section for some time now...so I am assuming the best power adders are:

Headers- Whis is best brand? or best bang for buck..

Pulley- What size pulley should he buy? brand?

Heat Exchanger- I know everyone uses Code3....

Tune- I have heard that LET tune is the *****!!

Am I missing something else? Cams, TB? Sorry I had an E55K and had these items, don't know if they have them for the C32


Any body has some used items?

Any Input is greatly appreciated. He may have a race lined up with a turbo 335 after all is said and done.

Congrats to your brother. His best bet is to look at LET and/or C3Ps website. Options listed below:

Pulleys - LET 181, 185, Code 3 Performance (C3P) supercharger pulley
Heat Exchanger - C3P (with the HE its best to get the upgraded pump - CM30/90
Headers - VRP, LET, evosport shorties. I am pretty sure the VRP and Evosport are very similiar.
Tune - LET, VRP, Powerchip, there is a long list....

You are missing the intake. He can either go with the C3P intake mod, or LET has a sweet full intake setup. There is another one out from NEEDSWINGS but I am not 100% that will be a direct bolt on for the 32.

///AMG4EVER

LET all the way!

I will avoid C3P as much as possible.

If you want a monster you want the 185

Do wires/plugs as well

LET intake rules...

LET Tune for everything after its said and done

Wow, thanks Guys! This is real helpful information. I will surely relay this to him and let's see what happens.

merc4ever

why

60n5pt1

Yeah I wanna know WHY?
don't just say...back it up dude..

like Bill O'Reilley would say....NO SPIN ZONE...

SilverBulletAMG

I can't speak for ///AMG4EVER, but I presume it is due to the lack of customer support and length of time it has taken some to receive parts from them (C3P). They have good stuff but they have been extremely hard to get a hold of as of late and some have waited months for parts to arrive that have been paid for in advance.

So you're presuming this is ///AMG4EVER's experience and not your's?
Or do you share the same presumed experience, too?

There had been other threads posted by members sharing the same experience with other respected aftermarket tuners in this forum, too.
I think these are isolated cases rather than the norm.
I've never had a problem with CP3's delivery response time.

loungn14

that would be it....


wow man...thats probably why he said I can't speak for ///AMG4EVER???

CP3's delivery times have slipped as of late. Hence why we were joking calling them code 3 months to deliver. And I was one of those waiting as well... ///AMG4EVER and a few of us got the sc intercooler and waited months for delivery of a product that had serious issues. I can pretty positively tell you that is the reason that he will not go back to C3P....

SilverBulletAMG

It would be my experience as well as many others on the boards. I like their stuff and I like Brandon and Aaron. Doesn't change the fact they have been hard to reach and they have kept people waiting for parts much longer than they should have.
I'm not bashing C3P so please don't take it as such. I am just trying to help a potential customer make an informed decision.

merc4ever

I have no promlem with their products, its the costomer care.

CP3 r u getting all of this?

Two major things to remember.
Quality
Service

I think the best is yet to come.

Otherwise, I'm happy with the C3 Pulley and C3 Intake

///AMG4EVER

Thank you SilverBulletAMG and loungn14. We are here in a daily basis reading about members' concerns and frustrations.

The OP asked about the best possible route to mod the C32 and we all know no other company has done more for the C32 community than LET Motorsports; price and performance-wise backed up by great customer service.

On the other hand, you have Code 3 Poorformance. If you regularly visit the C32 section, you will find plenty of threads and posts by dozens of members asking about when are their products shipping, when can they get an answer, why this and why that?

If I have to make a recommendation regarding this matter, I will simply point it in the best direction. All this based on history, first hand experience and documented stories from other members.

That's the main reason of my original post.

What ever happened to the Renntech ECU and ASP Pulley combo? It did wonders for my previous C32; I must have had an anomaly..

I mean, every C32 I see .... only a short few have had the Trap Speed success I achieved with the previous setup...

Click on 2006 Results and look for my C32 AMG - 1/4 Mile Trap speed of 111 MPH

loungn14

now worries my friend, the asp and renntech setup was great in its day. But just like everything else products evolve.

The LET C32's trap in the 113-117 range

alumar

...113 to 117....that is really nice from the C32... holy crap

I was so proud of that 111mph trap for so long!

That's my review if I had the chance to say it first.

Jerry's customer service is unmatched.

c32AMG-DTM

The 113 - 117 traps are indeed impressive, but IMHO I'd happily take 111 from just a 178mm pulley and tune

FWIW, I could've sworn those 113-117 trap speeds in LET C32's were achieved while spraying nitrous (from what I remember reading) ... I could be mistaken.

loungn14

113 was all motor, 117 was indeed nitrous (and appropriate tune)....good memory...

c32AMG-DTM

C32 times of low-mid 12's with traps in the teens... memorable indeed!

V12Godspeed

Thank you all for your input. I will let you know of the outcome as soon as I present all these ideas to my lil bro.
