ASP Pulley installed today, WOW!!!
Last week me and a friend installed evosport headers, today we installed a ASP pulley. It took about 2.5 hours, we did not need to remove the radiator. The install was pretty straight forward, you don't need to be a genious to do it. We had a GM pulley puller which took it right off. Their was no issue with the dreaded "key" issue. Just line it up and bolt it on straight. I feel bad for the fellow who broke his...
After the headers went on I noticed a little rise in performance, hard to tell with the butt dyno. After putting the ASP pulley on it was night and day! This car really screams now! Nothing like a 550 HP 4DR Benz that looks and sounds stock
. Tomarrow I am going to put the butt dyno to the test and race up at NED in Epping NH. I am hoping to hit 11.8's, anything better will be sweet. I will likely get videos and post them once available. If anyone is in the area and wants to come down I will be there from 5:30 - 10:00 PM.

Heh, the mod bug got me back in 96' when I was 16
I tourqued it to 147lb at 90 degrees. My friend is a mechanic, he has a degree in mechanics so we get it done right.

At the moment I am done with the modding, I am moving into my my first house in September and need to focus the funds else where. As for cooling mods, if I ran the car on road coarses I would be concerned about heat. If I get on the car it is for a short blast or a 1/4 mile run, I don't think heat is going to be a issue. Come next spring I will do the 80m TB and CF intake, then the ECU.

Just checkin....did you use a new crank bolt for the install? It's a stretch bolt and should not be used twice.
Although I did not like the quality of the ASP, had no probs with the power.
It's a monster! Glad to hear it all went well.

not to nitpick but you said you torqued it to 147lb at 90degrees. did you mean torqued to spec, THEN another 90 degrees?
