Got My Car Back, Big Difference

Just Got My Car Back From the Shop, and it's a big difference from the renntech CF Air Box and Evo Pullys. Just Shoots Out. Next thing to do is make my quad exhaust a true exhaust, maybe next month. And Sprint Booster, ANybody have any other suggestions on how to milk our cars for HP

Is that Renntech Air Box a Supercharger? If so, how much boost is it set to?

Did you lose some low end torque/HP with the Manaflow quad exhaust or not?

What does that Evo pulley do?

It all sounds good.. !

ps. Any Girls Gone Wild at the car show this weekend?

renntech air box is not a supercharger, its the air intake for the car. I did lose some low end torque from the quad which is the reason why i am taking out the wheel well for my car and replacing it with the c class wheel well which will allow me to have enough room for another muffler. evo pullys underdrives the alternator and give 12 hp stated by evosport. We'll see bout them girls, this is the 1st show ever so were uncertain on turnout.

Thanks for info... say, does any of the mods you are doing affect the smog emission test?

How much labor is involved in changing the spare tire well to a C-class?; I thought the CLK was a C-class. OR are you saying there is no more spare tire, just a can of SPARE tire spray?

Can you put a number (FT-Pounds) on the loss in low end torque after installing the Magnaflow quad exhaust?

Does the battery maintain the charge enough using the EVO pulley, meaning it's life is not shortened?

If you advertise the car show on the college campus, and have Snoppy Dog with camcorder in hand, the girls will come!

I have no idea yet how much labor is involved, hopefully not too much. No the c-class wheel well is different. The pulleys i BELIEVE only affects high power stereo systems. I can't put a number on the loss, its nothing major, i more than enough made up for the loss with the ecu tune.
