where is the best place to find a good pulley? i have seen them on ebay but i'm not exactly sure if they are good quality. is the pulley switch fairly easy? i am planning on doing this myself if possible. thanks.
already got a pair of tix for the usc/nu game! what is the software flash? is that a chip for the computer? is it something i can install myself?
Great to hear Ryan, I was going to come back for the game but I have 2 cars to finish for SEMA!
The software is flashed onto the "chip" (ecu) of your computer to increase the performance. You can check to see if there are any GIAC dealers close to you. You can also send out the ecu and it can be overnighted back also

Hi, I saw this quote, where can this be sent? Do you have any info.? Thanks.
well extra zip go with a pulley reduction and crank ....or a cold air intake ...and yeah im not sure how much the flashes run but i know giac is about 500 something ..the flash is actually they getting into your ecu and changing the mapping ? ...im not too sure i dont k now much bout flash and chips ...chips are actual chips they install with remapping software on them already ...they both increase power though ....but for the price ...they dont add much
born in lincoln. i spent the most time in hastings. (i lived there on three separate occasions). some of my father's ashes reside in the south end zone.
Ok, but we up here in the central valley have been waiting for some tuning for a long time . Lol I even called Dinan about their software, no response from them .

If all you have is $300 to spend, go with a cold air intake and save up for a pulley swap. Unless you have access to a pulley removal tool, you'll have to buy one or find someone who will lend you one. If you aren't mechanically inclined, you may have to pay someone to do the swap. Adding the pulley will make a big difference with performance.

15% SC pulley is a no-brainer way to get improvement cheaply (relatively speaking). the debate on crank pulleys is ongoing and inconclusive IMO. w/ the addition of a 2% crank pulley, you give up the OEM harmonic balancer and run the risk of over-reving the water pump and SC (too much heat). it depends upon the intended use for the car. i regularly track my car and rev it to 7500 rpm. i won't be changing the crank pulley. if your biggest concern is street performance (at lower sustained rpm), you might want to look at the crank pulley option. research is your friend. what works for one may not work for all.
