Go with an LET/EuroCharged Pulley kit.
Do NOT waste your $ on the C3. Trust me, I have been down that road, and I am all too familiar with it.

the c3 plus nw wings on a srt6 boosts about the same as a 185 on a c32.

Get the C3 first or the 185.

srt guys are claiming 17-18lbs of boost with the code3. The c32 only boosts about 19-20psi with the 185, since we can't use the bigger need NW cai's.

1psi seems pretty close to me...

I would go with the 185. Plus LET really are a group of stand-up guys in my experience.

boost on the c3 os closer to 16 not 18 and without the cai the 185 still boosting close to 20 psi so the dif is closer to 4 psi not 1. big difference. the advantage of the c3 is no a/f problems at wot like the 185

Thumbs up

I have the CP3 pulley and have been very happy with it. The biggest plus with it over others is that it replaces the clutch pulley. My CP was very worn and this has been a fantastic replacement for it. The added power is nice too. If your mileage is high, you should check the condition of the CP before making a decision. They can be VERY expensive out of pocket from the dealership. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed.

I got my c3 pulley on the sale and even shipping to sydney it was very value for money!

I'm so happy with the car now.. I would love a 185 but it requires a custom tune which is hard to come by in Australia, I haven't even enquired as I know it'll be too expensive.. the c3 is plug and play.. great for me.

I have the Code 3 aluminum pulley on my SRT-6 and I data log. I see 17.9 PSI. Not 16 or 18, 17.9. I'm happy with the pulley.

You should really look into it. Eurocharged has a dealer in Austrailia which means you can take the car there, and then Tony or Jerry will custom tune it from stateside. It won't run you much more than a normal tune. The onyl extra you would have to pay for is the dyno time which in the US runs about $150/hour on average.

It definitely doesn't seem prohibitively expensive...well, unless you are across the country from Peter West.

You're asking what would get you more power? An intake, or the supercharger compressing more air......

Yeah Peter West is a whole state away though, and don't really have a reason to drive that far other than see him - but that could change down the track.

I'm quite happy with the car's power and sound now (c3 intake with removed weather striping).. I think I might upgrade in a couple of years and I've only had the car for 4 months so spending out on the 185 seems a bit silly, I'd then need a heat exchanger etc..
