That's for the standard boost pulley. This car, like my old supercharged CL, has the high boost pulley.

My old automatic CL-S made 295whp or 100whp more than stock

I had the tendancy of going into 4th instead of 6th from 5th, as you really have to make sure you give the knob a little pull towards the drivers seat when going from 5th->6th.

Steve congrats on the purchase, I like the color.

I'm gonna bet you run similar ET's to your auto, but at 5mph more trap. That thing is gonna be a BITCH to launch out of the hole.

Does it have any susp mods?

Welcome to the club Steve. A very specific one at that... Maryland AGP 03 CL 6Spd's. Now I have to step up the game with a few mods.

If it made sense money wise I would trade my car in for an 03 ABP CL-S w/navi and 6 speed of course. I think the Aegean Blue Pearl is the nicest color.....Of course I may be partial to it Congrats on the pruchase. Once the car is detailed its a sight to behold!

Ooo k. You're in. Just don't forget to paint your car.

Steve, how's the short-shifter? Neuspeed I'm guessing.

It's shortens the up-and-down throws. I really don't have anything to compare it to but I'm getting the feel for it pretty quickly.

With all this power getting this car to get up and go on an incline is SO difficult without chirping the tires.

you got enough power-use 2nd insted of 1st

Yeah I'm sure I could get started off in 2nd just fine once I get the clutch engagement just right. While learning last night I actually started off in 3rd! It was a little rough going but it didn't stall, LOL

Gettting use to stick just takes a little practice.... I definitely miss stick since the CL is the first car i own which is auto... With the POS tranny in our cars, its the last car I own auto... Definitely will be going back to stick.... Steve how many clicks on her and $$ with all the toys already attached....

31,832 miles when I picked her up last night. I got a really good deal on her too. I paid right around the middle of NADA trade in and retail.

CT Flywheel makes a whole different driving experience.

Here's a plate idea for you Steve:

Steve I almost bought those rims (I like them in the anthracite w/ polished lip), but they didn't come in 17" so I decided against it. I remember they were like 400+ a piece or something!

so when do I get to drive it?

LOL, That pretty much summed up what I thought after my S/C install in Jan05. The pulls in each gear were so much improved. The car just does not seem as heavy anymore
Welcome back to the boost scene.
I love throwing gears, especially in this car. However, and I don't want to be a killjoy here, but the 6 speed tends to float valves/bend valves occasionally. I don't think I've ever seen a (5AT) member here post about bent valves. Just something to be cognazant (sic) of when ripping up through the RPM's.

Congrats!

If its feeling like its shifting itself into the next gear, you've got your car timed perfectly. IMHO I get the best performance out of my car on the street when I can pull that off. In my VW i can do it second as nature, in the Acura I'm getting it down but its still hit or miss.


It takes a high rpm shift to get it right and people will tell you all day how its bad for your linkage and your syncros and starving people in South America but we bought these cars to drive, not to sit idle in our driveways.
