Thanks Helix - 15% Pulley and DDM intake

Just got back to New York from Helix in Philly where Eric installed a 15% pulley and a DDM intake. The first time I got on it on the way home I laughed out loud. I did not fully expect that rush of acceleration and supercharger whine. It is awesome. Very happy. Money well spent.

Thanks Eric for a super pro job, and for the good hang.

Congrats a 15% pulley should always be the first mod.

So do you recommend a 15% or 17%? I want the best balance between performance gains and motor longevity.

Any pros/cons of either choice?
