Thumbs up feed back on upsoulute chip

Hi, I live in Ma and was wondering if anyone has used Scott Ramsey in Northbridge MA for there chip replacement? If so what kind of difference did you see. Please any info would be great.

How about objective proof that the Upsolute chip works. Before & after dyno charts or before & after time slips. But dyno is notoriously unreliable.

we have done software for c32 and srt6 for a while now. we even had a group buy going. we also manufacture pulley kits. we have several members here that have our software ie dan, mike and a few others. our software is proven...let me know if you are interested.

Did not see the pulley's on your site. How many are in the set? How are they made? Can you post pictures?

we don't have it on our site. not because we don't make them but because our competitors will steal the design. that's why we don't post pictures. sorry our disclosure. you are more than welcome to come and see them.

Sorry but, How much are you selling the pulley or kit for? And how much for the chip? I have a 2005 srt-6. Thanks

What kind of hp numbers will your pulley and chip produce? (for the SRT-6) Where are you located to have this installed?

Bit far of a drive for to look at some car parts.

Pulley's aren't rocket science. ASP, Kleeman, RENNtech, EVO, et all provide pictures of their pulley's.

But fine. Lets talk about your pulley's if you wont post pictures. How many pulley's are included in the kit? What material are they made from? Are they based off the stock MB pulley's? If so do they use set screws or are the welded? If not does you design incorporate a harmonic dampener? What increase in boost level do your pulley's produce? What is the diameter of the main pulley? How much are the pulley's?

I'm done with these sales talk from companies who can't even show any dyno tests made on our crossfires! I think it's a rip off if we allow ourselves to buy their products without testing it first in our crossfires and showing us test results!

Okay we do not weld or bolt on the pulley. We use a factory harmonic balancer and our pulley is pressed on. We can't tell you the diameter again our disclosure our pulley is the same color as a stock pulley. We do not write or inscribe anything.

We don't need to underdrive the alternator or water pump why? For the sake of a couple horsepower the alternator is intended to run a certain way why would you change it the electronics on mercedes is very particular about current.

Our pulley is a great deal for the price as we only do local installs because we can't trust backyard mechanics to do the installs. We use all factory tools factory parts at the end of the day your engine is a Mercedes Benz.

That's the reason why a company like us don't get on forums. Because guys with questions ready to badger the companies that come on here to talk about their products. If it wasn't a science to any of this stuff software, tires, wheels, pulley's then why isn't everyone make their own homebrew equipment and sell it.

Someone here that's willing to step up and purchase our kit will be very happy and he will get before and after dyno results.

Can you give us an idea what kind of results we should be able to expect for the SRT-6?

The additional pulley's in the other kits are not to underdrive the water pump or the alternator but to compensate for the change in pulley diameter for the crankshaft. They are to keep the rotational speed for the alternator & water pump within spec.

So you guys make a larger ring for the crankshaft pulley, freeze the crankshaft pulley (cool it) and heat the new outer wring and press it on.

You ask "If it wasn't a science to any of this stuff software, tires, wheels, pulley's then why isn't everyone make their own homebrew equipment and sell it." Rather a disingenuous question but here you gp. Simple math for the pulley's, I know several people that have taken their specs to machine shops and had new rings built. Not a big deal just need to have the right equipment. Wheels it is all about access to equipment. Tires and software are more complicated and require access to the right equipment.

You still have not listed the price for your pulley.

Care to share the rotational speed of the water pump impellers and the impact on cooling efficiency? What is the resulting change to the charging system? How much power can I draw from the alternator without worrying about voltage dropping below acceptable levels?

I can't spend all my time on a board babysitting posts and also to your comment about pulley ratios... that's not true in this case about changing the ratios to compensate for the new rotational speed some vehicles have a separate supercharger pulley from the alternator water pump etc. In case of belt failure you will still be able to drive.

are you seriously doubting if supercharger pulleys increase power??

Of course I am not arguing 'overdriving' the SC will not produce power.

My disagreement with Eurorev is over the reason the other pulley manufacturers (or resellers) (RENNtech, Kleeman, Evo, etc) include more than one pulley in their kit.

I am sorry that you feel discussing your products, their impact on vehicle operations, and why you went a different route than everyone else on the market is a waste of your time.

Your silence speaks volumes.

My Silence are you kidding... I apologize if we are busy and can't stay on this board all day to answer your personal questions. That's something I can't change and won't period. I will however try to answer all your personal questions that I have time, for I am not on this board all day like others that falsely represent their company. I am here as who we are and am not hiding behind a different name. And so you don't start with another reply I am not particularly speaking of you.


Do you realize what you have said " Because we went a different route its a waste of our time" that's your personal opinion. If everyone went the same route then we would be like everyone else. Also its also known in America as Copyright infringement. How bold can your statement get.

Porsche went the "different route" with their Carrera GT And Mercedes went a "different route" with their SLR Does that mean it was a waste of their time. No it doesn't!

Your are making to many statements that aren't factual and any one with common sense will realize it.

You misread (or I poorly worded) my statement. What was meant was that you went a different route than everyone else yet are treating it as a waste of your time to explain why you went a different route on the pulley's.

Copy Right infringement does not apply here (see below). The correct statement would be patent infringement but again it does not apply in this case. There is no patent you are having to contend with (or at least none that are enforced).

Copyright is a statutory or common law right of authors, artists, and developers (or other holders of a copyright) to publish their works, and to prevent others from copying their works. Infringement includes the unauthorized or unlicensed copying of a work subject to copyright. For example, Title 17 of the U.S. Code (which pertains to copyrights) defines the exclusive rights of copyright holders. There are also several provisions which create crimes for copyright infringement.

17 U.S.C. § 106
Sec. 106. Exclusive rights in copyrighted works
Subject to sections 107 through 120, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:
