Purchased the ASP ODPS Today!
i drove over to check out ASP and their operation today. Lee is a nice guy and took the time to show me a couple of things on my car and answer my questions. They will actually be done next week and i will install them once i get them in my hot little hands. very excited and looking forward to taking the car to the next level...
also, for those of you who were following my spark plug thread, i have decided to try out a set of the IK22's. i will let you know what i think of those as well...
AND, i will be doing the resonator delete as soon as i get the stainless steel pipe in that i ordered...

So, did Lee have a tool, to lock the flexplate (flywheel), so the Harmonic
balancer bolt can be removed with a normal flex handle and pipe extension?
This would make more sense, than removing a bunch of stuff, so one could use
an air impact tool, to remove. One should use a torque wrench to put the bolt back on anyway.
Most cars will generally run better with new plugs, if the plugs have a lot of miles on them.

1Fast,
Does their crankshaft pulley contain a harmonic balancer? This has been the one thing that I baulk at when wanting to do a pulley upgrade. The other thing is the lack of support over here in Australia. I e-mailed a Kleeman distributor here in OZ about their pulleys and I never got a reply.
Please let me know.

i agree on using a torque wrench to put it back on, but it does not look like i will have that luxury unless i come up with some other way to put it back on, he said the whole job should take less than an hour...
i already have new plugs, just changing to some colder ones to see if i can get some better results with the pulleys...

You can put a socket on the pulley bolt and have a long handle extension that will hit firmly on the ground. Then use the starter motor to turn the nut loose. It is fast and works but I guess it could damage the starter motor. But so far it has not happened.
Of course if you remove the rad and other items to get a air gun in there you risk nothing but a little time!

1FASTC32: Sorry, but ODPS term reffers to evosport's OverDrive Pulleys Systems.
Not anyone elses. I invented the term, so I am a bit touchy and *****y about it.
All ASP does is welds an extra ring to a stock damper. Whether it works or lasts it is up to you to determine. They do not own or drive C32, for that matter. Like most shops they just COPY products, that is where their MB knowledge stops.
If you are concerned about a dampner for a C32, evosport has one in the works and will be available shortly.
I have had an original solid pulley on my C32 for the last 96,000 miles on my car w/o any failures. New dampened designis in a process of being tested for the last 7000 miles, and it is doing fine. Release will be very soon.
Call ASP's COPY anything you want, but ODPS belongs to evosport.

Evosport's new dampened crank pulley for C32 is the same design we use on 55s. It utilizes the same friction dampening that is far superior to stock elastic rubber damper that MB uses.
It is built from from billet aluminum and does not RE-USE any MB parts.

the evosport dampened pulley sounds very interesting. if you are in search for pullies, i would recommending looking into it. for as far as i know, the only drawback to the previous version was the lack of harmonic damper, which was a debated issue if it was necessary or not. but now that evosport has a dampened version, time will tell, but i think they have covered all bases. the highest dynoing c32's i have heard of are evosport pullied.

For example, you could not trademark the phrase "overdrive pulley system" since that is merely descriptive of the thing itself. But ODPS might do it.
It is just not worth it at this time. But I do appreciate the thought. Thank you.

Any results from the ASP pulley?
i see that more AMG owners are using ASP pulleys now, i even see E55members running in 11s using them. (if its good for them, its good for me haha) Is there any downsides? Are they really worth it? or are they like what Vadim said, their knowledge to our cars limit them to only copying the pulleies instead of creating?

ok, i installed these yesterday along with some colder (IK22) plugs and went to the track....
13.3 @ 103 i ran this consistently all night...i think the car should be faster than this
so here is my question, i did not reset the battery, should i have reset it?
my MPH is the same as it was last time, but it was also colder last time i went, at least a 20 degree difference in temp. it was about 82 degrees out...
what did you other guys do that installed pullies?
