tuning Question

I installed the BWK, then upgraded the IC pump as well as the HE to PLM. Should I get a tune now or should I upgrade the SC pulley then tune?

what kind of numbers should I expect after tuning with or without the SC upgrade?

Thanks

Depends on how soon you plan on getting the s/c pulley. A tune by itself can net a good gain. With the mods you have now, a tune is not needed, though.

That is another question - how kind of pulley should I get for this car? I see so many options. I have no idea which one to get? 77mm/82mm/84mm? clutched/fix? which setup gives most bang for the buck?

I do daily driving not a family car. I want to have over 550/whp or as close as I can get to it.

I love working on cars and that is why I bought this car.
