Awesome! Much more fun to watch than a car driving down a long straight road! I drove a friends stock Cooper S and the whine of the supercharger sounds awesome from the factory! From the looks of your dyno graphs, that smaller pulley makes a hell of a difference! The ECU even more! 15 whole HP that is very impressive. What is cost of the ECU vs. pulley and is the ECU fitted for the increased boost or can you expect similar gains from the ECU w/ factory boost?
I have no doubt that the beautiful Getreg 6 speed can take the abuse (i LOVE the way the gearbox feels,) but how about the stock clutch??

You are currently running the DS3k's for the track? How have they done with the factory mini brakes? Does the S have larger brakes than the normal cooper?

I like your stable, nice M3, probably the nuttest Bug I have ever seen, and the S. Nice!

That movie kicks ass!! nice driving. I wish I had sound at work :( (or broadband at home)

Aw man, you gotta have the sound. I think the whine sounds the coolest when you blip the throttle. Wrhee!

wow... looks fuuuun.....:)

Thats an awesome bit of driving - what kind of tires do you have mounted? They seem to have outstanding threshold feedback. :buttrock

Pulley installed is about $400. The ECU is $700.

I'm not sure what gains you get with the ECU but not the pulley.

The Ferodo DS3000 definitely stop better than the stock packs and even the DS2500. I've used them only with the Powerslot rotors. It all works just fine.

I don't think the S comes with bigger brakes but I'm not sure.

Yes, the Yoko ES100's give tons of feedback. They can chunk a bit under heavy track use, but overall, for under $100, they are hard to beat.
