Speed Innovation Kleeman

I'm located in the Torrance area. Socal. Is there a Kleeman Dealer near me anyone can recommend? Also has anyone used Speed Innovation Pulley and ECU package? There's a Speed Innovation dealer near me but I haven't heard much about them. They claim pulley/ecu will gain 50hp. What do you guys think? I will appreciate all your inputs.

Unless there is some compelling reason, why not go with RENNtech's package? You don't need to worry about claims -- a number of board members already USE their packages and have the dyno sheets and dragstrip timeslips to back up their (typically conservative) claims.

ObDisclaimer: I've RENNtech'd my last three MB's. Kicked *** at the dragstrip and dyno with them, too

At the risk of hijacking the thread, I bet that a lot of us would like to hear your comments on the differences between the Protomotive 997 T and the RENNtech SL65.
Has the ride quality changed in the 997? Is it near equal to the SL? Cabin noise?
Speed and handling - any surprises from either one? Transmission differences?
Interior appearance/quality?

Maybe a new thread would be fair to Venom.

You guys know how I feel on this subject.....All these guys that are charging 3-5K+ for ECU work are taking advantage. My contacts with the code writers for this work in Europe say that it is a combination of greed and too many middle men with their hands out.

I have some contacts with the people who actually do the code writing and the work on these ECU tunes. If anyone is interested in a better deal and a 2 yr warranty on the work, PM me.

Thanks everyone. I decided to just go Renntech due to being more background. I heard of asp pulleys but was unsure if anyone can program the ecu to get the best results. Can someone give me more info on vrus tb? I'm a pretty decent driver so I think driving school is unnecessary. i used to take my viper to the tracks from time to time. (But I might learn something new with the school.)

We have been writing software for 15+ years and offer a 3-year warranty plus a 14-day money back guarantee. Also, we have worked directly with many of the pulley manufacturers including Evosport to perfect software for cars with stock pulleys and aftermarket pulleys.
