What mods did you already have on the car, and what pulley size did you add?

I just ordered the package deal, but I'm a little undecided whether to go with the 181 or 185 size.

Car is currently stock with mods noted in my sig. Waiting to be installed a 178 pulley, Eurocharged headers, E55 air intake system, then a re-flash of the ecu.

I easily broke traction rolling along and giving a jab at the throttle, this on a dry road with winter tires.
The car will be much more enjoyable on the track this year!
Sorry I couldn't stick around to meet the others. Too cold!

185 all the way!! I started out with a Code3 Pulley which is equivalent to a 178 and I ditched that quick! You will want as much power as you can get! If you're getting a tune anyways, just do it! I LOVE mine!!
Imagine the wheels still breaking loose at 50 mph...

Interesting.. I got a C3 but don't want a 185 cause I will need a heat exchanger and the costs just get blown out with freight for me. Is C3 -> 185mm that much difference at the end of the day?

I'm trying to gauge how much more I'd 'feel'.. is it like another jump from going from stock to C3 and then to 185 same kind of power jump?

To give you an idea, with my Code3, I dyno'd 310 RWHP on a Dynojet. Granted, I also have headers now, but it's a VERY noticeable difference even without them.

With a Code3, you do not HAVE to have a tune. With a 185, you HAVE to have one.

Hmmm...I'm severely tempted...but I would need more parts to compensate for the 185, right? Such as a bigger heat exchanger?

I ended up talking with Jerry and based upon my future plans for the car, he suggested the 181 pulley. I only have access to 91 octane and do not foresee myself getting headers for the car, so he felt that the car would actually perform better and be more reliable with the 181. Hope this helps anyone else that was on the fence as I was.
