Hi
You will get noticable gains from both i recon 20 ish bhp from remap and 30 ish from the pulley,how much for just a remap @paramount ?.
Dyno's results are nice but dont mean much really and might save a few quid.
Paramount done both my remap and upper pulley so figures should be roughly the same.,have fun whichever way you choose.

cheers Lspc, how noticeable is it compared to the standard STR??

I want the dyno results just to compare before and after, I will upload here when all done.

£699 for the pulley mod at Paramount only but apparently they dont need to grind the snout of the supercharger anymore

So £400 for a remap at Paramount then ? Would it not be better to get Powerhouse to do the pulley and Paramount to remap and save £300

I had the remap done first,then the pulley about 2 months after, you will notice a good difference after each upgrade.Unfortunately you will get used to the extra power and it just seems normal.... mine was done some 8 yrs ago so seems like it has always been now.

Haha yeah sounds good apart from they are both miles apart and I am 250 miles from each place so fuel and accommodation would probably end up costing me the 300 saved
