CLS55 1/4 mile times with SC Pulley

Finally had a cold night here in Florida. Temps were hovering right around 60 degrees. Perfect night for racing except that it was also test and tune for the Citrus Nationals (I was very much out of place).

My car ran 12.5@ 112 mph stock in a little bit warmer weather. This was on stock OEM potenzas.
Since then I have added the SC pulley and new tires (Nitto Invos)

Only had one shot on the track. No burnout, left traction control on. Ended up with a 1.88 60' time. 7.9@92 in the 1/8th and 12.1@116mph in the 1/4.

Overall i am very impressed with the pulley. I think I have an 11 second car with some drag radials because I felt the traction control kick in at the end of 1st and it blinked a few times in the beginning of second.

My goal was to have an 11 second daily driver on streets and next week after the headers go in, I think I will be there.

Elliot,

My car felt completely different in the cold weather. I had no idea it was a legit test and tune for the weekend's events. Dozens of trailers with some bad *** dragsters.

It was a last minute thing. Dinner plans cancelled, it was cold out, so I dragged the wife to the track.

I really think I could have got into the 12.0x's but I only had one run and the wife wasn't very happy sitting there by herself waiting to tape my run. The street cars went first, then it was pretty much closed for almost an hour and a half while the big boys went.

For anyone thinking about the SC pulley, I'd say go for it. 4 mph and 4 tenths for under a thousand bucks including install and tune is a bargain.
