Re: Performance Improvements to SRT
if you do a NeedsWings intake and an inMotion ECU tune, you will REALLY notice the gains!
everyone here is going to try and sell you on the pulleys because they hit the track quite a bit.
but if you are using this as a streetable, everyday car, but want it to be more fun, definitely go intake and tune, you will not be disappointed. everyone i have steered this way has written to me and thanked me because the power increase was so noticeable, and they didn't have to deal with the headaches of pulley installs.
i even upgraded the intake manifolds without doing a pulley kit, and the car just keeps getting more powerful.
they will also argue that the pulleys are plenty-reliable, but i have heard plenty of evidence to the contrary, plus, it is creating more wear on the drivetrain and other components. and that is not subjective, that is a fact. more heat, more spin, more friction etc. not good for everyday use.
if you are just putting her on a trailer and driving her to the track on the weekends, then by all means, do pulleys. i have a BLAST driving mine without pullies.
i will likely be crucified for my post. enjoy.
