I'm just not impressed by a bigger pulley and powertrain recalibration.

I raised this issue, earlier...
Seems to me that it's in a
shop's "best interests" to go out and run a single-attempt baseline number (1/4-mile OR dyno) without any efforts to maximize the OEM set-up. "
Ran 12.50s", or "
465 rwhp", as an example.
Now, ALL efforts seem to shift to what their unique and incredibly talented personnel/program can do for you.
"WOW!! We shaved half a second and/or found 15% rwhp improvement with our SuperAwesomeIncredibleMaxiPowerTune!!!" Only $495!!!
Hopefully, someone will spend a little time and effort to see what, as Number 3 states, can be accomplished with a properly broken-in "untouched" version.
