Just curious - are you not concerned that installing an aftermarket pulley kit will void your warranty?

Also curious about the "bang for the buck" for the ECU pulley kit and installation costs. Will you have before/after dyno tests done to measure the hp/torque gains? It sure would be nice to have objective data.

No kidding, we'd appreciate it if you could post it. Which color is your car? Coupe or Convertible?

This thread is a quite a read, even though it's old.

XK-RS does 0-60 in 3.X seconds, and he wanted it to be faster? The problem is that most think they need more power, in reality most of these cars never even get driven close to their limits.

More power will make it slower... power means nothing if you can't stick it to the ground. XKRxx is the wrong car for these wants - a GTR or aventador is what he is looking for. It takes AWD and a rediculous amount of electronics to get the 0-60 times to be competitive nowadays but then you're not driving the car; you're pushing a button like a video game.

There is no car with 3 pedals that can go 0-60 faster than the 3.6 sec time of an XKRS. Even the XKRS would be slower with a manual.
