The car comes with Needs wings CAI and Intake Manifold Gaskets, Johnson pump and Sprint booster. I think I will install those, then probably go with a Code 3 PERFORMANCE SUPERCHARGER PULLEY & INTAKE BUNDLE, then get a tune. Thoughts on Code 3 and where to get a tune from? I probably wont do any other mods after that.

 

congrats, whos car did you buy?
with our CAI kit on the car the code3 intake won't fit. the code3 intake is a tweak to the stock air box assembly which was removed when our cai was installed. shoot me a pm and we can discuss the current and future mods

 

Good grab....I "pmed" him tha same info regarding the code3 pulley.

 

As for tune there are pretty much two schools of thought Eurocharged/LET tune and InMotion... do research and make your decision as for what you like best

 

ok so what pulley is best with the CAI? The deal is 100% sealed yet but test drove it and its perfect. working out my financing now.

 

Romio,

The Code 3 S/C pulley will fit just fine on the SRT. What ichon and Needswings are referring to is the modification to the stock airbox that Code 3 offers and you alluded to in the "CODE 3 S/C PULLEY & INTAKE COMBO" ... with the Needswings CAI the Code 3 intake modification would be rendered useless. The Code 3 S/C pulley does fit.

Your other option since you have the CAI is to go with the Eurocharged 185mm crank pulley kit. You will see great increases with either.

 

If you want fast, great tuning ability, and reliability then go with a 178 ASP crank pulley and an InMotion tune. No guessing, it's a proven fast combination. You'll get 50/50 on here with members who will deal with Code3. Congrats on your purchase and welcome. Seeing your from Baltimore, I have to tell you GO STEELERS!!!

 

I couldn't agree more...well maybe not about the 178/inmotion, but definately about the GO STEELERS!!! part...

He is right about Code 3, you will get about a 50/50 split of praise/admonishing for Code 3...mostly for customer support...if you want to call it that.

 

ok so. Code 3 looks no good. What size / brand pulley? any realy difference in tune between inmotion and TVT SRT6 CUSTOM Tuning and LET Tuning?

 

An improved heat exchanger is always a good idea when running a pulley be it crank or supercharger driven. There's also the always on cooling pump mod.

Just so happens I recently posted a how to on both!

Check them out. Cut-n-paste the links. Not clickable for some reason???

if you are installing the cm 30 pump consider a heat exchanger upgrade. either the woody supercooler by tighed1 or a needswings cooler or let. the oem just doesnt do the job needed for the s/c as long as you dont need customer support from code 3 their pulley is the easiest install

 

Code 3 65mm pulley is very close to 178 for supercharger RPM and reall easy to put on and take off. I went that route, but havn't done a tune yet and not sure if I will. Tune will create better chance of deto from leaner running and advanced timing, hence reduced power if the deto sensor starts pulling timing out. It will be fine I'm sure for short blasts on 92 octane, but its still on my mind when putting the motor on the edge. I just wonder if tune is worth it running on the street on 92 octane pump fuel if the intake charge can't be cooled better.

 

OK so the pulley is solved. what about the tune. Who is best performance and price wise? Should only need 1 time tune. Also anyone have similar set up (single CAI, Pulley, tune) run theirs 1/4 mile can u expect to get?

 

That is why everyone will tell you to go with a better heat exchanger and intake. Either Eurocharged H/E or Needswings supercooler and some form of 3" Intake either custom or one of the few hanging around here like Needswings.

...for more cooling you can separate your enging cooling from your S/C cooling...

I think Woody has temps almost a full tick below stock temps.

No deto worries there. Tune or not.

 

It depends on what your after. The SC pulley will do for most members out there who just want to go fast. If you want to be any quicker than 12.1's which is crazy fast than you'll want a crank pulley. Like I said most members are content with the SC pulley. If those of us with 178 pullies listed all of our 11 second passes on dragtimes it would take up the 1st 2 pages. Speed is addicting and at some point that sc pulley won't be enough. The 178 is the only pulley that's been around longer than the srt6.

 

I have put my Code3 pulley to the test against a friend countless times in stock and moded form, I have achieved two car lengths improvement from 0-70mph, however.... keep in mind I have an Intake as well. With my intake we were dead even every time so ive been able to observe and take note of gains. I deffinately felt in 2nd gear onwards was where i could see the car start to pull away to an eventual two cars by about 70mph.

 

Tell me why if the Code 3 turns the supercharger the charger the same RPM and boost that the 178 pulley that fits the crank, would be one iota quicker or faster. There should be no difference in power. In fact, the crank pulley would be turning everything else faster which would rob power if you didn't slow down the accessories being driven. Theres no way you can convince me theres a difference if it's turning the supercharger the same RPM. Now lets hear about the different tunes. As I would also like to see if they really make a difference with CAI and pulley already in place in true street trim, not cooled and iced down intakes and supercharger at the strip.

 

If I was to start over again, I wouldn't go with the Code3 pulley. Why? I don't have anything against Code3 or the pulley. They've both been great to me.

But I want more! (You'll find that you always want more) If I was starting over, I would go with the ASP 178mm pulley. Why? Because if you want more after that, you can add a Code3 mid-sized pulley and bump up your boost again.

If you go Code3 orginal sized from the start there's nowhere to go unless you ditch the Code3 and buy a 181mm or 185mm.

 

The 178 does spin faster than the SC pulley, search for it. It's already been posted, but that doesn't really prove much since the 181 and 185 also spin faster. It's more what the car will be perform at its best without a downside. The original claim when the SC pulley came out that it was equal to the 178 but much easier to install. It's still just a claim because so far no one has proved for it to even be equal. Still a great entry level option to pulley modding, even with belt slip. On to the tunes, the right one will make a huge difference even with just a CAI. Pick the one to your driving expectations. Some are designed for specific parts combos and others are just a base tune. Then so many in between. This summer is supposed to be the big break out record breaking season for the mid and east coast players. Stay tuned.

 

ok well C3P doesn't look so bad now. I really dont think I will be doing any other modding after the pulley, CAI and tune.
