I'm pretty sure Kleemann never had a pulley for the C32 but ASP does, ask for Lee. Their website is www.ASPRacing.com.

And so do some other tuners...

Your best bet is to go to the C32 Forum <-Click me , and ask the other C32 owners their opinions.

Of course Renntech makes one similar to the ASP but for more than double the price.

Buell, the guy has a C32... why go for the hard sell? Have you sponsored the forum yet?

Forgot to add a to indicate I busting buell's chops.

Honestly, please go to the C32 Forum and ask there. They will know what comes with each kit, and what the cost is, and be able to share personal opinions on the pulley's for YOUR model Benz.

ASP modifies the stock pulley now, but please search around before you make any kind of decision based on price. If you can't afford to do it right. Then maybe you shouldn't do it.

It's easy to make something low cost if you don't spend any time doing r&d.

Are you saying Renntech does R&D on the stuff they sell? Maybe, but I didn't get that impression from the 2 items I bought of theirs. It appeared that my muffler was made by Sebring and just sold as Renntech and the IC I bought from them was made by Spearco, drop shipped from LA. This is just my opinion but if Renntech did their R&D they would have realized that their IC design lost boost pressure and horsepower and I would not have had to do the R&D for them on 2 seperate cars. It could be that what you meant by R&D is the work they did on an adding machine, if that's it I appologize. Don't know why you take things so personal for Renntech, you don't even carry their products that I know of.

There is one product that I'm thankful to Renntech for, the ITG airfilter. While it may not have worked out on Vadim's C32 or your car, it did work out for me on my coupe on the dyno.

Carl, even though they are a competitor, and many of their products come from external sources, I will still say that they have spent way more r&d on every product they carry than a company who simply adds whatever % you specify to a pulley diamter. There is much more to tuning than that. Last time I checked, you were not a tuner.

And evosport has spent thousands of hours of r&d on the C32. Perhaps that's why our products net more gains than the others.

You are always right, so I will not waste anyone's time arguing with you further.

Ben, have you tried any Renntech products? I speak from personal experience just like you do about Kleemann products. If you put in your Kleemann S/C hoping to get 100 HP and instead consistantly lost 100 HP , even on multiple cars, would you keep it on? I doubt it. That's how I feel about some Renntech products. It's not tuner bashing but my personal experience. Like Tim's personal experience with HPS, maybe it's not that good but do you prevent him from saying how much better this Kleemann install is from HPS when HPS is a sponsor?

As for not being a tuner, what makes a tuner? I've been tuning pianos for about 15 years, trained in instrument repair at OCC. Has Renntech every tuned a piano? I don't think so.

Carl-

Honestly, that last post just plain out confused me. Kleemann, pianos? All in regards to discussing SC pulley's for a C32?
