I kind of want one...but I'm just curious how much faster it will actually make me.
Anyone has 1/4 times before and after?

No 1/4 mile times, but I ran a G-Tech Pro on mine and ran a 6.7 second 0-60 with a bad launch. I think others with the ASP pulley have run low 6 seconds (manual) to mid-6 seconds (automatic.) The pulley makes a dramatic difference on the M111 cars.

There are faster cars, but this is good enough for me, based on being able to get 25-30 mpg when I need to.
(and haul a TON of sh-it at any given time. Coupe FTW!)

It's about driveabilty.
Torque comes in at idle, the car wants to go!
It'll coast at 20mph with my foot OFF the gas.
Mileage IS effected but only in the sense, that it's sort of like the Sprint Booster in that you're already at 10% throttle before you even push.
As such , having a gentle foot, and using cruise control you can get great mileage.
IMHO it doesn't hurt the engine because how often are you at WOT?
No much.
In any case, it's so much easier to drive, since the car downshifts so much less to accomplish the same tasks.
It's like, they came so close, but it just needed a little more power to make it easy to drive.
With a pulley, it's like that.
Effortless.
Without pulley, it's always down shifting and winding out for stuff thats just stupid easy with a pulley.
And yeh, you feel it. Big time.
I never got times or dyno, but it would've been nice.
