Hey all,

This is likely my first post here, I've been lurking a long time. Good tech here for a european vehicle, the best for this platform (and much MUCH better than other European vehicles I was looking at).

I bought a C32 one week ago. Not being one to waste time I'm taking it to Eurocharged on Thursday to install pulley kit, cm30 pump, heat exhanger, the eurocharged intake and tune...note its a big step for me to let anyone work (or even tune) any car of mine (been 15+ years)...I'm going to need therapy letting that go (although it seems it'll be in good hands).

So, here it is, they have 178 and 185 pulley options. I've done my due diligence and have read everything I could about the topic I still do not beleive I can make an informed decision.

What's the word? Will I have problems if I go to a 185?...will the h/e and pump address any concerns?...not sure if that's the case. I have key word searched evertything I can think of here and cannot see definitive evidence the 185 is better. I'm just not seeing dynos or track times to indicate the 185 is better, while with the 178 there seems no concern with heat soak, bearing wear or leaning out in high rpms as is with 185's (is that true??)

I'd love your thoughts...even if you expressed them before...perhaps with any new insights or comments. If I go with 185, will I really get more power and will it be safe to use it? Or...has it really not been out long enough for us to say at this point. Is the 185 truly superior? I like dyno numbers and all, but the strrip is the best measure...any experiences out there?

I'd appreciate no "rolleyes" saying its been beat to death...but if the case here is that its been beat to a point that there can never be consenus, then I can understand that. Thanks all. Again.."Hi...nice digs you got here." -Chris

PS: Is it pulleys or pullies (I'm thinking its the latter)....
