Do you guys recommend just using the stock crank pulley or getting the 12v UR crank. Anyone want my regular UR crank pulley? I love the thing!

Colder plugs come with the kit to handle the extra HP from the charger.
I do not know much about crank pulley's so I will leave that up to someone else to answer that..

good luck deal with VR
i am one of the people having a problem with them right now
i ordered mine back in march, was told it shouldn't be more than 4-6 weeks, and now it's almost June and unless i called Comptech directly i get no where. Their desk guy A.J. doesn't seem to like to return phone calls. i even visited last about 2 weeks ago when i was in Florida, and they still had no clue what was going on.
today comptech told me it should ship out friday, but who knows
i should have kept my order with c.c.c, but the tax was way too much since i also live in NY

I'll touch base with AJ on this since I'm taking my car in for the new 9lb pulley tune.

I don't want to hijack.. but a quick little FYI. The wife and I may be moving early next year to North Carolina (we're going in July to meet with some builders).... so all you NY folks who would have to pay tax now will no longer have to once we transfer our business license.

When I called VR initially before I placed the order I had remembered what you told me so I asked Jason about it. From what he said it seems to be a problem with Comptech getting the orders out and not them.

it's both
comptech had the blowers on backorder, and VR doesn't like to check the status on it
their Customer service in my opinion sucks(both comptech and VR)
when i call up and ask for an order status, call me back even if you have nothing to make me happy and seem like u actually tried.

I know Jason was saying that 2 orders for the S/C were going out this week so that might mean yours is coming soon. When you do get in touch with them i'd be interested in hearing the outcome.

Well if it doesn't go out this week i'd raise hell. I mean in both those estimates by CT they said it would go out this week. I'd let em slide on the actual day but that’s it.
I don't go for that “stringing you along” shit and just telling you week by week as they pass. Lets hope it ships by the 28th.

Yea I agree...the Brembo Gran Turismo brake kit (red) should be your next purchase after the SC.
BTW, IMO you will have the best looking and best modded CL on the forum once all is said and done.

today comptech told me it should ship out friday, but who knows
i should have kept my order with c.c.c, but the tax was way too much since i also live in NY

I know how you feel. It has been frustrating waiting all this time. But I have to say that Jason at Velocity has been great dealing with me. Every time I call, he does his best to find out what is really going on and keeps me up to date. My frustration is definitely not with him or VR. My frustration is with all of the problems Comptech has experienced recently trying to put the kits together: bad bracket, then ran out of blowers, then bad casting, then...
According to Comptech, my kit shipped today from Comptech to VR and I expect to get it within two weeks. At this point I'll believe it when I see it.
I am sorry you have had a bad experience with Velocity. My experience with them has been positive and I would definitely consider them again for future purchases.
