Eurocharged Tune, Install tomorrow!
Taking advantage of eurocharged boxing day sale I decided to buy the tune earlier then expected.
The install is going on tomorrow, pretty excited, what should I expect and be looking out for in terms of response from the car?

OP is gonna make me have to mess around and get one too... Though I've been waiting on clipping a flat 12 or high 11 stock. Guess I can always switch back to the base tune, right?

I am extremely happy with my EC (Jerry) tune! Aside from having more power the car actually drives smoother than before. My rear tires might not be as happy :-)

Ah shieeet! installed.
Smoother ride, way more responsive. Remaining as responsible as possible, I put the power down a few times on the way home, quite exhilarating. Think I'm going to be spending much more on rears then expected

My car picked up 9 peak hp and about 25 peak wtq. Most all sc pullied cars all dyno this amount.

EDIT: Re-read this... But, I'm still curious as to why your gains were so small. Heat soak? Got a dyno graph?

you have to see the conditions with these pulley installs since they add heat. when most people add parts I see on here and dyno in 80deg and up weather in the summer the gains will be less.

I did each mod in stages with before and after dynos. Most guys group the pulley and tune together so they jump from ~410whp to ~450whp. They don't realize that the majority of the hp came from the tune. Like I said, my torque jumped an easy 25wtq across the band with the pulley addition but peak hp didn't increase much.
Still a great mod.

Nothing was wrong. If you check what most Eurocharged sc pulley and tune cars put down, they are all around 450whp on a dynojet.

To answer the other question; Yes, there were gains all through the rpm range with the sc pulley, but peak hp didn't change much.

If you live somewhere cold or have a hefty cooling system, its great for the money. However, I live in south Florida and only ran an upgraded pump and split cooling. Therefore, I ran faster times when I removed it an ran just the Eurocharged tune and headers.

Nope. I had a lip on my CLS55 and the heat exchanger would have pressed against it and pushed it outwards.
To be honest, I never experienced heat soak. The only time I would get on my car for long pulls was at the track and I only went during the winter. I doubt the HE would have helped my times for the minimal mods I had.
I managed an 11.9 @ 118mph with oem tires and the headers. When I had the sc pulley and headers, my times were 12.1 @ 116mph. Same weather and humidity. My understanding was the HE helps with recovery, not heat during a run.

Your trap speed is a good indication of this.

So I assume adding a larger displacement blower fixes this issue. Can someone chime in with experience with with a Weistec blower? I would imagine more power at a lower boost level than a stock blower.
