Renntech pulley and ECU questions
I was recommened to come to the E55 board for this.
Ok a couple questions. We installed the pulley and ECU on a '03 SL55 yesterday. A few concerns, we picked up only 17 rwhp non-corrected. 413 base line and 428 after. What are we supposed to pick up with this mod?
Another question, we did not actually drive the car after the install, we pulled it from the lift to the dyno and ran it that way, would the car need to be driven for the ECU?
What non-corrected numbers should a SL55 put down with this mod?

Do what rflow306 says. The only way to know is to check out the IATs and your A/F to make sure everything is correct.
Post a copy of your dyno chart so we can see the A/F curve.

just the pullies alone would of yield at least 30wHP...
also run the car hard and let the ECU compansate for the new found boost.. then perform the dyno.
make sure the car is not TOO hot when doing yor runs...

Thanks guys, the intake temps were at 200 I think. The dyno corrected was 495 and 428 non-corrected. I will post a dyno sheet when I get it. The car feels alot faster though.
Renntech is paying for us to re-dyno the car in Vegas. They are also going to have us reload a new program. We will see what happends.

I had a RennTech pulley and ECU installed by Renntech in Florida on my E55 about 2 months ago. It made a huge difference in power.
Although I don't really rely on dyno numbers due to the amount of variables, I was impressed that my car is now trapping at 121 mph without any other mods. Not many can say that. I am still waiting to see a Kleeman run at Moroso.
In any event, my car picked up a little over 50 rwhp and 60 rwt.

This has been since my K2/LSD upgrades. IMHO it has so much power now that due to the wheelspin the power is killed on launch.Trap speeds are 118. Before the K2 work I was getting 1.8 and 1.9 60' times. HELP! Any recs? Would drag radials make a diff? Anyone else with these issues? Thanx-Joker

I have seen sgc car's run 120 to 121 mph trap speeds at Moroso with a renntech chip and pulley and can also vouch for his exhaust being stock.

Just an FYI... There are a diverse group of users on this board who are running modified 55K motors that were supplied from all of the different vendors out there. There have been problems with EVO cars, Kleemann cars, Renntech cars, etc.
Nothing is perfect out there.. It's all about how the vendor treats the customer when there IS a problem. You can tell a person's/vendor's true colours when problems arise.
This Renntech car we are discussing probably has some underlying issue that didnt come up right away and now it is under-performing.. I am sure Renntech will step up and take care of this problem. They are a reputable tuner (albeit rather expensive for what they provide) from what I have heard.
Just my $0.02...
You guys are both too kind! Thanks for the nice words.
