Im assuming theres no point in developing a performance part specifically for the C32s since they dont make our cars anymore. The Pulley Saver kit was made for the crossfire srt6, and since we share the same engines, they can advertise it for our cars but they were made specifically for the srt6's. Im not 100% sure but this is just what i think.

So the air cleaner box for $92 on parts.com comes with the filters already? I just took the 5 part numbers that someone posted, y-splitter, 2 air box, and 2 hoses. I read somewhere that i can just drop the KN from our stock intake into the sl55 intake, itll be smaller but wont make a big difference. Cuz i have (4) brand new KN air filters for the c32 stock intake box.

yes the parts.com air box does come with a stock paper filter. No you cannot use your c32 K & N filter because the sl55 air box is about 25% larger then the c32 one. Trust me, its noticeably larger.

jturkel

actually, rob designed the pulley saver kit for the m112k engine, not just for the crossfire. he focuses mostly on the crossfire since that was the car he worked with and had, but he did have a shop c32 for a while and was in the process of developing specific parts for the c32 (c32 oil catch can is different)

regarding the intake, yes it comes with filters. IIRC, the Sl55 airbox is 50% larger. so while your current filters might "fit" in the box, there will be a bunch more air coming in that will go through unfiltered, leaving your motor at risk.

Jturkel, so im guessing rob sold the C32 and decided to get a crossfire instead? lol. Regardless, their pulley saver kit seems to be a big hit in the c32 community.

In that case, i wont even put the 2 KNs in my stock air filter set up, since im going to be buying the sl55 intake. I may as well keep them new and in the box so i can sell them.

jturkel

no. he had the srt6 first. the shop c32 came afterwards. i'm not actually sure it was "his" perse...i don't recollet if it was that or if a customer let him "have it" for a while to try out some stuff on. i know he was trying to get low 12s on some setups. not sure if that ever came to fruition.

and correct....regardless, the PSK IS amazing. an absolutely necessity. my bearing was on the way out and i've had ZERO problems since installing the kit. it was a great idea.

Jordan7589

Oh i see. Low 12s? Would you happen to know what the best time someone ran with the c32, without nitrous? Our cars are mid 13s stock, so im assuming after a pulley kit, intake, heat exchanger, and tune, the car can get into the mid 12s no problem, with some decent tires of course.

Gramma_Benz

Well, to give you an idea, while jturkel's car is not the MOST modified, it's about the limit you can do without going to Methanol or Nitrous and I believe he ran 12.7?

jturkel

best without nitrous? well...jake ran a low 12 IIRC without nitrous, but i mean...he had a LOT of things done. iirc, fuel system, modifications to the blower,eetc.

pulley, intake, heat exchanger, tune, and DRs depending on your DA should get you into at least a high-mid 12 depending on your driving abilites and what pulley you go with

my best time was a low 12.6 pulling only a 1.91 '60. that was on 91 octane. i've got 93 now. i bet i can beat that time a little bit

but yah, that is the extent of the modding unless you start doing meth/nitrous or start dropping some serious money (port match the blower, fuel setup, etc)

buffyclk500

r your headers lt or shorty

jturkel

i have shorties

buffyclk500

so is 12.6
the fastest a c32 has gone with no spray

jturkel

no. pretty sure jake got low 12s no spray. and i think someone has gotten a 12.5

buffyclk500

my friends srt6 does 12.1
tune
intake
pulley
heat exchanger
and intake man

just saying the needswing intake set up works great on srt6
i know there r setups that work on slk clk e
but y has no 1 did a c32 yet
there must b a way

Gramma_Benz

No way without a lot of custom fabrication that may or may not work. We just have a bottleneck behind the throttle body. Even the SL55 snorkle there is really difficult to fit in back there.

TemjinX2

you can probably just use the sl55 snorkel and then the needswings pipes. I just like how the sl55 intake keeps everything looking stock.

Newzchspy

No, I think the fastest C32 has gone without spray is 12.2, WITH spray is 11.9??


Jake, correct me if I am wrong??

Newzchspy

Lenin did a 12.5 at Atco I believe without spray??

Jordan7589

So basically, with a pulley kit, tune, intake, and headers/exhaust mod, the C32s are mid to low 12 second cars. Obviously, with some drag radials and im sure the heat exchanger plugs and wires help make the car run colder and better, so it would add a little bit of power, not much though.

I wouldnt mind adding a little spray after all the other mods are done to the car Of course, i would have to run 100+ octane race fuel.

But has anyone done custom work to the motors such as port and polish heads, port the intake manifold and throttle body? Also with that much power, i wouldnt hesitate to get the LSD installed and also the High Stall torque converter if you are using the car for drag racing.

All in all, id say low 12s is pretty damn fast, considering the major mods are the pulley kit and tune.

Newzchspy

** Mid 12s is pretty much "the standard" for the Tune, HE, wires, Pulley. Remember, I did a 12.7 on bald PS IIs with only a Jerry tune, 93 pump gas, Code 3 Pulley and Code 3 foam intake WITH no LSD or Quaife, No drag radials at all) . I still have the original plugs and wires in the car!! ***
