Once you get much beyond 700BHP they start blowing head gaskets. 660BHP with 5psi more boost is comfortable. The internals are good. I'm not sure on the SC numbers, Chris has done the math but a dual pulley setup isn't way out of range.

I've had the VAP tune along with the crank pulley on my V8 for the past 50,000km (in total, my engines got 120,000km on it now). I've had 0 issues, just a few rogue MAF sensors which are unrelated.
I drive 150kms per day yet I'm going to get the upper pulley installed now as well. Suffice to say that I've been very happy with the reliability.

I installed the plugs with the pulley although that was precautionary because I live in a hot climate. I've seen others with the crank/both pulleys who've had no issues so I don't think it's necessarily required. But at the cost of the new plugs and replacing the old ones, why not?
#1088
After the installation of both pulleys and tune with full exhaust, is there any additional items I should consider for longevity of the motor? Additional better cooling parts, etc...
Thanks for long research on this motor. I like it, except for the plastic bits. And who's the genius that thought of putting plastic and cheap o rings under and inside inside of the blower?

Hey guys,
Here's a link if you want to see what the VelocityAP crank pulley and belt look like for a 2017 F-Type R!

I will be doing this end of the year or so I believe. Then my RWD version WILL be a handful ha.

Yeah I get that and here’s my point. The Ecu tune itself cost $995. The pulley that comes with the tune is $1995. Well I understand a lot of research and time went into these tunes which make them valuable, the tuner box itself is also a very expensive component. So I get the ecu tune now, and pay $995. With it I get the tuner box and map file. Next year I get the pulley and pay $1995. With it I get the pulley... and another pricey tuner box. See where I’m going with this?
We chose to take the route that once you've bought the tune, we've got you covered for integrating any VAP products you choose to add going forward. So you only pay once for the tune, and don't pay an extra $100 for this or $200 for that to update it.

Car pulls a lot faster. The tune feels a bit stop and go through the lower power band, but when I floor it in S or D it ramps pretty fast. I'm happy with the changes. Had after thought of making a billet aluminum insert pice for the valley hoses to connect 12 AN hoses for cooling and fully getting away from all the plastics. AN lines for the blower piping as well toadditional coolers and pump to bring temps down. Will be doing this this fall and winter more than likely. Then thinking about E85.

Heres some pics of the carbon fiber wrapped plastic water pipe and AN steam vent lines. I also changed the plugs when the blower was off. Added a new snout as well as the isolator was sloppy after 50K miles.
