We have now passed the 4,000 mile mark with our shop SLK230K and it is loving the new found 55whp.

The crank pulley ring can be installed in about an hour. Tuning can be done at any of our dealer locations, or by sending us the ECU via a shipping carrier.


Some models will require a Fuel Pressure Regulator upgrade and a MAF relocation kit.

I have a Kleeman pulley. Will the flash for my ECU work with it?

Can you send me a pic of the pulley? If it's a different size, I'll just create a file for you.

Uh Ed,

4000 miles, on a ring, isnt' saying much.
The Kleeman ring was a disaster.

We got what, 250K combined between us eh on the ASP?

What power is your car putting down and what does it run in the 1/4 mile? Can I see your dyno graphs?

We have the fastest C32's and due to requests, we have decided to make this product / tuning available.

Please don't pollute the thread with your opinions...

Not polluting. Kleeman had problems with their ring pulley and discontinued it. Thats just fact, not opinion. Perhaps your ring is better than Kleeman's. But 4000 miles isn't that much as far reliability is concerned. And yes, that perhaps is my opinion.
I have over 100k troublefree miles on my ASP pulley, also a fact.
I'm not selling anything or making claims as to any 1/4 mile times.
But pulley and exhaust mods, certainly do add power, which I have.
So, I can speak from experience.

Your kit is very reasonably priced! Hopefully you've done your research, looked at the mistakes Kleeman made, and fixed them, because people had them coming off. Also fact.
There's a long history as it relates to pullies in this forum.
A lot of R&D and also major problems and huge repair bills happened back in the day, from poor designs when the 2002 Coupe was fresh. (The only car in this forum your product will work with)
The Kleeman Ring Pulley already has reputation around here as a bad product, the whole idea of a ring pulley is generally regarded as a bad idea around here. because of Kleeman.

So, you may need to explain to folks why it's now a good idea, and how you've improved the design.

I was there. I followed the process for more than a year till the bugs were worked out. I saw the damage done.

That being said...
I do look forward to seeing your dyno's especially those related to the
chipping of a pullied car, as in gains on top of the pulley,
running on 91 octane fuel.
I've been considering this for a long time, but so far no one has shown a dyno for a chip for a M111 Pullied car. Looking forward to it!!
If gains are to be had at usable RPM levels, I might be in.

I incorrectly stated Ed (Emrliguidlife) had an ASP when in fact it's a Kleeman solid alloy pulley. Some people had problems with those, though his has been troublefree.


I won't say another word! Anxiously waiting for dyno's!!!
And pricing on just the ECU flash.

No harm....

Our SLK was purchased new in 1998 (1999 model) and has been around the whole time....single owner. I've been considering this for years and never got around to it. I went back and read as many of the threads as I could to get caught up.

I have found that installing the ring incorrectly will lead to it falling off. There are a few small things that can be done to prevent this and I will try and highlight them later.

I think a crank pulley would be the way to go if they were affordable. If someone had one lying around I would be more than happy to have one made under $500.

However, the pulley ring is a good supplement and can easily be removed if needed.

We have car #2 going up on the dyno in NJ very soon. I will provide those dyno graphs and all data needed.

The car is really detuned...even at stock boost. To me, there was a night and day difference between both mods we did. The pulley made a huge difference, then a few months later we tuned the car and it felt like it was the same jump in power.

Any M111 will easily pick up 20whp across the entire RPM band.

I'll post more info very soon.

Any holiday ECU tune specials? Are you working on a FPR upgrade for the m111?

I'll do everything I can to get it shipped out today instead of Monday. Wish I was in Shy town.

I'd jump all over this for a free tune.

If you have any need for a test pig in So Cal, I'll do it.

We are using LET's pulley. We do a lot of business with them and sharing products makes good business sense. The next car in NJ will be done at our shop hopefully before the new year.

You know of course that $350 and a crank pulley (or $250 core charge) is the price from ASP? Just an FYI.
For that they grind the outer ring, press on a larger ring, weld, and balance it. There's quite few people around here with that configuration on the 2002 coupe. (And btw, no relocation of the MAF or pressure regulators are required for the coupe, the system adapts by itself)

Most people never send the core; put it back to stock on sale of the vehicle.
I'd like to see what your software can do.
Powerchip supposedly offers a pullied version, but I've heard of some problems and personally I think they charge way too much.

Anxiously awaiting dyno's!

Possibly the price went up $50.
Shipping is a good 50 bucks since it weighs a ton.
So you're saying you might be able to provide a pulley including core for $500?
OK, that would be cool.
There wouldn't be much point in your reinventing the wheel for this group unless you can come in a price point below the existing stuff, thats considered tried and true 'round these parts.

All of our pulleys are replacement pulleys, meaning you keep the stock pulley. No core charge and shipping is included.

Stock C32 Pulley on the left / Modded LET C32 Pulley on the right.
