that would be cool, there is really nothing on the road you can compare the E55's too. Once you do the Pulley and ECU tune, your running down Lambo's with the greatest of ease!

well, i dont have other e55s to compare mine to -- there are not many e55s let alone modified ones. So, bumping into one on the road is hard to come by

Perhaps a few of us should have a Southern Cal meet.

hey its a 178

i love my asp no problems good company.

With all the aftermarket tuning issues lately, I would just remain stock if I were you.

or you can be conservative and get a smaller pulley and less aggressive tune --- that is what i did..

Big pulley has lots of disadvantages --- tuning and heat.. needs lots of additional care -- upgrading cooling etc....

like others have mentioned a lot of the fastest e55s are running smaller pulleys.

Later we will meet up and you can see the gains i achieved.
