SC on the 05 MCS, more red. pulley friendly?

I was just reading on motoringfile.com that the new SC rotors on the 05 MCS is coated with the same material as the JCW SC. Does this mean that it is more 15% (or 19% for that matter) pullley friendly? I guess it's still up in the air since there aren't any 05 MCS's yet but what are your thoughts? do you think the new SC on the 05's is exactly like the one they use for the JCW kit (albeit the reduced pulley)?

Thanks, Gabe... that's where I saw it... so, what do you think? is it really the same SC as on the JCW kit?:smile:

Same as same can be. Minus the smaller pulley, of course.

hence, my initial theory..... coated rotors... red. pulley friendly, right? since it's the same SC as on the JCW which has the smaller pulley....

Basically, it doesn't mean much of anything. The only thing it's there for is to help seal boost in a little better. But there's no data that anyone has seen that shows it really makes any kind of a difference. Even Mike Cooper himself said it's not for reliability purposes which means it wouldn't be any more pulley friendly. :smile:
