These cars are costly after the DCAI, pulley and tune. Knowing what to expect with the mods available is important. I figure I will get a 5% increase in SC rpm's at the SC pulley. I don't know why but I run 18-19psi with the mods listed which is high according to JR McDaniel who sold me the 178/PSK. I sent him a short datalog showing the 18psi and I believe the 19 also. 5% could be an increase of about 1psi or 20psi. that seems to be where I will not need excessive amounts of fuel mods and tuning. In fact it could be my AFR's could be leaned to be closer to the 12.2:1 goal I have if Jerry has me a bit rich which I would suspect. I believe from all of the posting and PM's plus research that a pump and an adjustable regulator(and free flow filter) should be all I will need.
If I have the stock pulley turned to 69mm I would get an 8% increase or almost a 2psi increase. The SC would then spin at about15,500rpm. Too high or not. I cannot run Rob's heat exchanger due to lack of room seeing I have an SLK. Not sure what could be done to help cooling. I have a wideband O2 ordered but it is delayed again, might have to wait until the end of the month. Then have it and all pulleys installed the same day with a run to see what the AFR's are with the current tune and the 155/65 pulleys. My timing jumps all over the place for no reason that I can see. I will also stop running TORCO and stay with the 93 octane tune. Just wait now. 70 or 69?
Steve (32krazy!) ran an aftermarket heat exchanger on his SLK with no problems. You might want to contact him and find out which one. I'm sure he posted about it on here.
