I don't think any of you besides distant and MD have even reached the potential of even one pulley. The original was supposed to be equal to the 178 for half the price, nobody in 11's with it yet. I would of liked someone get there first before opening a new can. 12.2's the fastest with the largest SC pulley?
Also zero problems with the asp product, the idler pullied that failed on ChiTown's original car failed due to rust. Not because of higher rpms than bearing allowed. Also is the only one, even on MB's. Even with the 181's and 185's it was only the w/p pullies that failed, not the crank pulley. Maybe misalignment but no failure.
the water pump pulley is part of the pulley set that is required to run the 181 and 185 pullies.
there are multiple threads with multiple people with failures. so much so that all the bearings were replaced on the water pump pulley.
regardless, as with any mod the best thing to do is to do a few searches or scroll through the srt6 section and decide for yourself on which way to go.
there are a few good options out there and there are a couple of bad ones.
i never stick a part on my car without doing the research myself and finding out what is misinformation and what is truth.
just enjoy your car and have fun with it. that is what it is for.
as for the 11's with the code3, i do not think anyone has ran a 100 octane tune with it. the 178mm pulley does make a little more power from what it seems but the code3 is a great option too and is super easy to install. they are both good choices for these cars.
there is no need for this thread to turn into another which pulley is best opinion thread, lets just say that doing some research on here is the best thing to do
