modding questions think i want to remove kleeman parts!

1.Would mbh long tubes be a huge upgrade over kleeman shortys?
2. I want to sell the kleeman tune and pulley!
3. Not sure what heat exchanger is on the car probably not worth it to buy a different one.
4.Want to get it tuned by MHP and also want to put a ice box on the car for the summer heat.
5.Car needs a LSD which one is the best bang for the buck?
6. smallest wheel that can fit on the back? Needs a slick!
7. Bigger crank pulley makes more boost correct? I have the smallest supercharger pulley correct?
8.What is the best exhaust dyno proven?
9. Do intakes help? which one to get?
10. What is the part number and which cars do the Bigger 82mm TB come off of?

You can run 16s in the rear with a 255-50-16 drag radial

Just got your PM. For 10's you will need:

At least 180mm pulley
The kleemann headers are fine honestly(i made 619hp with them)
Rear reservoir with a good pump/pumps
LSD isn't 100% needed but does help
Good tuner
Light weight rear drag radial setup for the rear
82mm TB
Good weather/track
Most of all luck
I went 10.7x on CLK rear rims with drag radials,stock fronts tires/rims,195mm pulley (Stay away from RTR) Ported heads,PTE cams,trunk tank,my own 82mm TB setup,and Eurocharged race gas tune. 2nd time out in 82 degree weather and 1800ft DA with front skinnies and some more fine tuning i went 10.51 so alot of it comes down to thinking everything out that you really want to do. Its not hard to break into the 10's but its not the easiest thing either. I'm in the middle stage of a full rebuild so this November it should be into the 9's hopefully.

3. Not sure what heat exchanger is on the car probably not worth it to buy a different one. keep it
4.Want to get it tuned by MHP and also want to put a ice box on the car for the summer heat. forget the ice box and add a killer chiller to compliment the giggle juice.
5.Car needs a LSD which one is the best bang for the buck? Quaiffe or Wavetrac
6. smallest wheel that can fit on the back? Needs a slick! CLK320 steel rims 16x7 with a slick or hoosier 255-50-16 drag
7. Bigger crank pulley makes more boost correct? I have the smallest supercharger pulley correct? leave the blower pulley and crank pulley alone, your 168 is plenty
8.What is the best exhaust dyno proven? Go with American racing headers and mid pipe
9. Do intakes help? which one to get? K&N filters with wrapped tubes or get the CF python tubes.
10. What is the part number and which cars do the Bigger 82mm TB come off of? MB S class cars will have the 82mm
Read the red font, add a 75 wet shot to the Kleeman 168 pulley combo and it would be deadly. The IATS would be nice and cool, and your top end would be monsterous, along with the ARH 1 7/8 headers with the 4" collectors.

-long tubes over shorties you should pick up 15-20 whp
-bigger h/e and trunk mount resevior and split i/c coolant setup will help
-dont know much about mhp but saw a few threads a long time ago, some of the older members probably have something to say about them
-bigger crank pulley = more boost and smaller s/c pulley does same
- intake havent seen any proven results yet that i know of

and now my question for you - do you have pics of your 600whp 3L b5 s4? i wanna see as i love those 3L builds... thinking of doing one myself soon. what tune and turbos you running?
