I made th observation that the 185 may not be better than the 178 due to increased heat/IAT. I say this based from what took place at the last LET track day. Riot had the 185 at the last track day and correct me if I am wrong, but weren't all the pullied cars(Let, Code 3, Rentech) running around the same times? I can see several timeslips in Steve helliums gallery that would leave me to believe the 185 could net the same results as the 178. One for example.
That slip was one of my worse runs, the car had made several runs down the track, one right after another and my HE coolant temp gauge was up in the high 120's to low 130's. When I first started running with the HE coolant gauge was under 100 I was running in the 12.5's.
I was running a 178 pulley, RENNtech tuned ECU, stock HE/with fans and an SL55 "Y". Riot was running a 185 pulley, LET tuned ECU, LET HE and a Needswings intake. Bikecop was running a Code 3 pulley, Inmotion tuned ECU, his own intake (kind of like Needswings),105 octane E85, Code3 HE and a meth injection system. IAT temps was the killer, by making a run and coming right back up to make another my times kept getting slower and slower since I wasn't letting the car cool down. I could watch my HE coolant gauge just keep climbing by doing runs one right after another. I personally think all 3 of us were running about the same when our IAT temps were down, but I think my car made the fastest run of the 3 SRT 6's that were there. But I could be wrong, but bikecop was doing a lot of watching and he did say my SRT 6 was the fastest ( when my IAT temps were down).
