This has to be the best mod you can do.

The car screams now.

I had the pulley installed at my dealership for $650. That's about $150 dollars more than I would have paid if done at some other shop, but my warranty STAYS INTACT. As long as they install parts that they sell in their part shop I'm covered. They use Mini Madness parts on their race car so whatever they use I can too! Awesome!

It's like I have a new car now. I've been flogging the heck out of it to figure out my new shift points. 4th gear feels like 3rd now. Instead of rev-matching to 4th to pass I can now leave it in 5th and rock on....

This is a must do mod!

Sounds great, was this a Mini Madness pulley?

I agree the pulley is the best bang for the buck. The only other mod that makes that much of a difference is the software IMO.

I've been wondering about that. Do you have any dyno charts for pre/post sotware upgrade?

How much of an increase can you expect from it?

I'm waiting for the GIAC software to come out before I go this route.

No dyno charts to prove my theory, but it sure felt like another 15HP to me. The car winds up faster and pulls a bit harder under 2500 RPM.
