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?

I know that... I was saying the pic he posted was old.
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!

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

That's because it wasn't posted. We kept it on the D/L

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.

Last night at first I was having trouble going from 2nd -> 3rd; I kept going into 5th instead. But I pretty much figured out what I was doing wrong there.
With all this power getting this car to get up and go on an incline is SO difficult without chirping the tires.

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....

CT Flywheel makes a whole different driving experience.Here's a plate idea for you Steve:
TOXIC CL
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?

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!

I never had trouble getting the right gears. THe shifter seems to go where it should on it's on in most gears, esp 1to2 and 3to4.

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.
