Good post, I was wondering this exact question about injectors. (not that i need them yet)
I am curious has kleeman ever had a #8 failure or any other cyl for that matter? Maybe their tune is solid and safe and they will not put the customer in the danger zone?

From what i know, no Blown engine from Kleemann and my car runs and sound great with header. What else can we ask ?! my rear tires keep spinning almost at 70mph so why would I want to add a huge pulley ? All i need is better wheels and tires now. The rest, i will invest in cosmetic 63 conversion soon.

Iv never lost to another tune and had a ec tune on my car.kleemann also does custom tuning and my tune is at the limit they will go.
Iv seen a 168 pulley k tune car run a 11.2 on pump and full weight and kleemann had a custom tune on it.
I have about 30-35,000 miles on my car and its well north of 500whp
I dont see anyone making my power with a 178 pulley and a ec tune and i only have kleemann headers and front catts and the rest of the exh is bone stock.
My car also runs smooth and feels 100% stock and just pulls clean all the way to redline.no fuss and iv been there and done that with retunes but kleemann did it right and have there tunes perfected with there first flash.
There k4 file is worth it and i wouldnt run another tune even if you gave me 5 grand with it
check out this car built at fabspeed,all it had was a k2 setup.168 pulley and kleemann headers and broke 520whp

That is a damn impressive graph for the minimal mods. It pulls all the way up to 6500rpms with no real cooling, never seen that before.

I think thats just it ... Kleemann tune to the boundary of the heat / power tradeoff ... so u can make good power with bigger pulleys but you need to add mega cooling...
You then also have the higher parasitic losses of a faster spinning S/C with bigger pulleys... its never win win with bigger pulleys.
