The ECS Pulley is the under Pulley made by ECS a US Company, I don;t think it did anything significant, but it was relatively inexpensive, and should help throttle response a little

The SNOW Meth Kit, is a Water/methanol injection kit, that enables you to run the 100 octane program from GIAC, APR (in my case) or REVO or any other tuner software that can tune it for 100 octane
It makes you run cooler so you can use more boost (I am at 22/23psi)
Compared to my "regular 93 octane program I gained about 20 whp/20wtq

The added benefit is that it keeps the engine super clean :-))

Thanks guys, appreciate the  :happy2:

If anybody wants the rear diffuser I can see what the price would be with a limited production, and shipping cost to the UK.
The dimensions and weight are not that high, so it might be reasonable

Let me know if you are interested

Thanks again for the positive response on my car, I really love the car and the way she handles on track while not compromising daily driveability

Actually I only live part-time in the States, I am Dutch from origin (Amsterdam), and live (for now) most of the time in Aruba.

I have a video of my first US track event (with mandatory instructor) from October, but by the time I had my line and braking points memorized, I was running out of brakes big time :-((

My best lap (without too much traffic) was a 2:50 flat, I am sure that with my new brake Upgrade (StopTech 4 piston/14" front rotors + Carbotech XP10 pads), I should be able to get into the low 2:40's maybe better, because I am SOLO qualified now and that sheds 180 lbs from the instructor as well.
I proberbly take out the rear seat and spare as well, so I should shave about 250 to 280lbs (about 10%), which should help getting me into the high 2:30's on street tires (I Hope)

I will go to Sebring again on December 13th, and to Moroso (new track) on the 14th, and I will make as much video as possible, and I will for sure post those on youtube and post up the link for you guys to watch
