I dont think you can go wrong with LET/Eurocharged. I've met Wayne and he is a good guy. I've also have been working with Jake on a Heat exchanger set up (I'm slacking I know). I have to say the LET/Eurocharged guys are always on the forum and are willing to helpout. Heck, IF you buy Wayne some Redbulls he might just come visit you.

cant say anything bad about C3P haven't used their stuff... I will say this. You can get a hold of LET/Eurocharged much faster. Customer service is king and they got it at LET/Eurocharged.

mate your 55 is unreal!!the times your getting are sick!!

All the code 3 products are from lets website.I just want an ic pump, performance pulley and an heat exchanger, as after a custom remap, this should be a good little setup for my c32(i think...)

how much more(performance wise)do you think the difference will be with thsere products??

Thanxs!!

Okay, the C3 HE requires a minor mod if you have the headlight washers, like I did. Pretty easy just need to rearange the lines.

I left the LET pulley up because it is MY prefered way of making boost. I feel that that the smaller SC pulley MAY cause excessive slipage, IMHO.

Don't forget the LET TUNE my friend. IT WILL wake the car up noticably

See yeah

Mods

I have the C3P pulley and the C3P intake. Each takes about 15-20 min to install. Straight bolt-on. Combined, you should see about a 30-40hp boost in output at the rear wheels. I have not dyno'ed mine but it dropped the 0-60 times by about 3-4 tenths but made getting a good launch harder due to loads of wheelspin, lol. I hope to get back to the track soon. Bone stock I trapped a 1/4 mi ET of 13.54 sec @103 mph. That is average at best. Based on seat of pants and timeing of 0-60 and 0-100mph time (just over 12 sec now) I am expecting my 1/4 mi ET on a good DA day to be in the low low 13's. I am told that with the addition of only the LET tune (next on my list) I can expect 12.90's in the 1/4. I do not yet have the johnson pump either but plan to add it soon.

Knocking 5 tenths off with only a handfull of bolton mods makes the C32 a fun little beast.

No my friend it won't shred it unless it slips REALLY bad. First you will see fine black powder around the pulley itself, then everywhere in your engine bay. On my stang, with a whipple, the 10 pound pulley, aka small, would slip just a little. Giving into what I described above. The larger 8 pound pulley NEVER slipped. Belt life was about 10-12 k with the slippy 10 pounder.

Sorry for the OT insert

Now back to your reguarly scheduled show
