sorry to be a dummy here...so on an /a, installing both the underdrive and the crank pullies will yield 12-18?

or is that just the crank pulley?

 

i think he was saying just for the crank pully.. but i could be wrong

 

Just for the crank. I think the V8 saw something like 22 HP. These are numbers I was quoted from the manufacturer.

 

Awesome, Im subscribed to this thread; eagerly awaiting results. Although I couldnt find the thread on MBworled, its nice to hear that the v8 picked up 22 hp Those guys are just as hungry as the v6 guys for a bit more power.

 

well i will have all of tvt's pullies on my car and dyno'd on saturday for the ecu tune and injectors.. ill let you know how they work out and what the gains were..

tvt, can i hope to be anywhere near 300hp when you finish with the tune?

 

Before everyone else asks... 'Please post before & after dynos'.
Regarding being close to 300hp, their 250 kit states 253hp, so you'll be closer to 300 than 200 if that's what you're asking. Remember, if a product (say pulleys) frees up/gains you an extra 10hp on a stock engine, it will not gain you that same 10hp on a modified engine. An engine will only produce so much power - you're just extracting all you can.
Those last few horses are the most expensive ones!!!

 

well i wont be able to do a before and after dyno.. i am installing the pullies before i make the trip to orlando to do the dyno runs. so only an after dyno. sorry, i would really like to see it too but i dont have much of a choice. the shop is opening up for me on a day that they are closed so i can do the runs.

 

well i believe tvt stated an actual 263hp with their cai on the tvt250 kit. i could be wrong however. that is just with a flash tune, a custom tune will show even more gains on top of all the other mods i currently have plus the pullies which go on hopefully tomorrow! you are definately right about the last few horses! you pay for them BIGTIME.. the only mods left for me after this will be cams and headers which im not sure if ill ever be able to afford!

 

you can always sell you furniture.

anyways...how much did you pay for the lambo doors, and where did you fet them, i saw them on ctd, but they seemed a bit extreme on price just for the kit, especially when you do the conversion to australian currency.

 

We had a customer get 271 HP out of our TVT250 kit and CAI with a custom tune.

300 HP with the pulleys is very feasible.

 

YOU JUST MADE MY NIGHT! scratch that.. you just made my WEEK! lol. thanks for making me not be able to sleep tonight tvt

 

With everything you just ordered and a custome tune I have no doubt you'll be in the top three fastest N/A's. There's us, you, and always the one person that is faster then you.

 

how many horses does your car get now?

 

One more Q: Is this 12-15 whp?

 

most gains stated by the manufacturer are measured at the crank...
