My Stage 2 E55
Hey guys just installed my EC 180mm pulley, PLM headers, PLM H/E and Johnson CM30 pump. I'd like to thank Vlad of Auto Sound Performance in the Bay Area and Jerry of Eurocharged for the pulley. Now I can't wait to get tuned!!! Drove the car and it already feels like a beast. I didn't go past 3000 and only used very light throttle. Car definately gets upto speed faster. Over all I only spent about $4000 to get to stage 2 plus the upcoming tune. I will let everyone know about the numbers I make after the dyno tune on Thursday!

The GT2 is definitely a lightweight compared to our pigs. If I'm not mistaken, he should have about 1k pounds on us. That alone will put you at an EXTREME disadvantage.
You should do it anyways just to see what happens. My guess is that it won't be pretty.

Glad to hear the feedback on your car. I'm doing similar mods by the end of the month and can't wait. Actually, my pulley should be here today, and Jerry should be tuning it tomorrow. Eurocharged LT's and 3" stainless exhaust at the end of the month. Oh, almost forgot, the heat exchanger next week.

Congrats on the upgrades! Should make for a fun ride...but have to agree with Sun, unless your uncle can't drive you are going to be staring at his taillights. Stock Gt2s are no joke, and a modded one will roll. Just go out and have fun!

Just got done with the tuning and all I have to say I am so impressed with Jeremy's tune. I put down 467whp and 506 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels. My supercharger belt shredded though so my SC is not working right now.
What belt should I use for a 180mm pulley?
