Well I know kleemann is in Colorado. That's about all I can tell you about locations. Also kleemann pullied are 168, which is a good size and not too big. If your looking for more power, then go with say a eurocharhed 180 pulley

A good indy, or even a good speedshop can install a pulley. All tuners offer remote tune and/or canned tune on flasher.
I would go with an ASP 180mm (welded) then the tuner of your choice. Pulley will run you from $500(ish) used to $1000
Tune will depend on how / where you go, but $500-$1000 is what you will probably be looking at

Can't say anything but good things or chirp about the best experience I've had with a tuner than my time spent down in Colorado Springs with Cory @ Kleemann. The pulley is on the smallest end of the spectrum, but I can't lie about the power it put down and the reliability of the tune and most importantly the drivability of the car.
**** I miss that thing...

I'm in Fort Collins ... I'll have a 185mm in the next 2 weeks ... if I can ever get past all the maintenance items I have come across on the way to installing ... it kinda depends on what other mods you intend on doing in my opinion. If you are keeping stock TB, stock headers/exhaust, cooling a smaller pulley would probably be the way to go. If you open stuff up all the way through, I think larger would be better.

^^^ I can't agree more about that. If you have huge plans for the near future for other mods bigger pulley is the way to go. If you want to just do a pulley tune and cooling setup do a smaller pulley. These cars have enough heat soak issues stock as is. Remember that your best bet before doing any kind of pulley is to change out your IC pump and do a HE if possible, the 55k supercharger will shut off on you everytime it gets too hot.
