Default Re: LET Headers?!?!?

If I remember correctly from benzworld that SteveL had similar detonation with his FF shorties. I would assume that if you had both pullies and headers, that tuning isn't just "optional" anymore... is this a correct assumption?
On the C32 with stock heads, a 185mm pulley will cause the IAT's to skyrocket in the upper RPM band. Upgraded cooling is a must and even then there is no guarantee. 192mm is pushing the limits of the SC. Efficiency will become an issue at high RPM / high load situations.

I bet your car is a monster up until 4k rpm.
