ran an 11.68 @ 121.8 at Palm Beach Raceway

It was my personal best. Ran about 14 times and had multiple 11.6's with 120-122mph. I ran those times on my 19's with vredstein tires. 60 FT time was between 1.85-1.90 all night.

Mods include asp pulley/let tune only. 45-50 degree temp. Not too shabby.

Thanks. ASP Pulley I believe adds 3-4psi. Suprisingly, my tires were at 35psi and they hooked great. For the launch, I did a mild burnout, set the suspension to the softest setting, and put the tranny in sport mode. I left traction control on and just eased into it.


I'm trying to get some videos of the runs. My buddy's cl65 ran 11.7@122 bone stock. he was having severe traction issues.

122mph trap with just ASP pulley and LET tune?
Best bang for the buck for sure!

Is this the latest 180mm ASP pulley?

It not the latest ASP Pulley. I got it about 3-4 months ago. The conditions were good, but we had a 10-15mph nw wind which hurt a little.

No cooling mods whatsoever. I just got a supplemental heat exchanger and pump, so that will be the next mod. I'm hoping to break into the 11.50's with drag radials The conditions were good, but we had a 10-15mph nw wind which hurt a little.

By the way, was it a standard tune or custom dyno tune?
