Finally got them installed,there from that guy that ripped off a few members(hope they got there money back)either way the car feels strong.

but dyno says 20ftlbs and 20whp and seems to be getting stonger as the car adapts after the ecu reset.

next up kleemann 172 pulley

Hammer Down

skratch77

I havnt got it yet but heard they made them.I just sent Cory an email to see if they still have any left over.

There is also one for sale here on the forums.

So Kleemann actually offered 168 and 172 mm pulleys?

Hammer Down

yup, they made a few 172mm (less than 20) which is why i asked where did he get it.

Hit the track up last night and got one run in.It was cold and there was no track prep with 3 cars crashing that same night.

I picked up 2.1 mph in the 1/8 going from 89-90 to 92.x my trap was 117 because the car bogged going into 3rd with the traction control kicking in.It was like ice on the track last night.

Managed a 12.5 with a 2.2 60 ft with massive wheel spin half way down the track.

This was also on stock e55 wheels/tires

Cory is the best on Earth but he wouldn't budge with me on the 172. said it was Euro customers only. We have a few of them here like Steve from the UK, wonder if he could shoot you over one.

Klee must be super strict on that point. Cory would do anything for a customer. Check with him though, maybe things have changed.

Iv talked to Cory,he was the one who told me they sold out like 6 years ago.I dont know why they dont make them anymore.

I think thats the best size/gains pulley you can get for power and consisntency.I know if I go 168 Ill want more.

I know the feeling. Last time I went up to GLD, the track was like ice. I remember watching the yellow triangle flash in third gear at 90 MPH as I was crossing the 1/8th mile traps. The next couple runs I walked it out to about 35 mph in 2nd gear and as soon as I laid into it the tires lit up like the track was wet. After a couple of hours it got better and I ran an 11.98, but those first 3 runs were scary. I came back around and could see my tire tracks going back and forth to the 1/8th mile mark, utterly ridiculous.

What is it that makes the track so slick? I have never experienced anything like it on the street. This was with Kumho roadrace tires as well. They're not DR's but they are a huge improvement over stock rubber.

Its the dew point,here in newengland we get muggy hot air all day then the temp drops fast at night and the condensation is all over the track.

I ran at like 930 at night and the temp went from like 80 to 65 inone hour

I feel bad for the guys that got ripped off, but glad you got yours. Does the car sound any different? I just got my tubular headers installed yesterday, and at first, I thought there was an exhaust leak. Start up and idle sounds the same, but when I get on it, around 3500 - 4000 RPM, it is louder, and a touch raspy. At first I thought- ****, there is an exhaust leak. But when I pull half way into the garage and rev it, the sound is not there. When I pull all the way in, and rev it, I hear it.

This tells me the sound is coming out the back, which is good. I will grab a freind to rev it for me later just to double check.

All other exhast is stock, but there is a diffrence. deffinetly. What do you hear??

Does your car sound any different with the headers?

skratch77
