Adding DCAI after 178mm Pulley/Tune - feedback?

Has anyone installed a dual cold air intake (DCAI) system ***AFTER**** installing a 178mm pulley and tune and have feedback on the performance gains and additional cooling requirements (are there additional cooling mods needed)?

I've read all the posts about the SL55 intake upgrade, Needswings DCAI (which I am tempted to go with) plus custom intake mods and all has been very positive but its not clear if cooling mods are needed or if better intake will benefit a larger crank pulley and tune (technically it should, but real world feedback is what i am interested in hearing about).

Thanks in advance for any info - i don't think i've missed any posts/threads on this but if i did my apologies.

There was a similar thread very recently but with the smaller supercharger pulley which won't make a difference for the questions. Yes do the CAI. No nothing else needed. Of course you should definitely do a larger heat exchanger and pump if you haven't already anyway but it is not required for the intake.
