Current max cargo for Asp?

120 with shields. Fit a shield and don't bother with that 8 extra hold space. It's not wise to undock without a shield
Fit a class 3 shield if you only plan on trading. Then you can fit a 64,32,8,8,4 and 4 cargo hold. An A3 shield generator is pretty cheap and will keep you more than protected from minor bouncing and scraping off things.

As above have said, look at the Classes of Cargo racks and Shield you are fitting:
Class 6 Cargo - 64 Tonnes
Class 5 Cargo - 32 Tonnes
Class 4 Cargo - 16 Tonnes
Class 3 Cargo - 8 Tonnes
Class 2 Cargo - 4 Tonnes
Class 1 Cargo - 2 Tonnes
Your Shield may be in the Class 4 or 5 Slot, subsequently reducing the Combination of Cargo racks you can use.
The Asp has 1 x Class 6, 1 x Class 5, 3 x Class 3 and 2 x Class 2 slots.
Class 6 Cargo - 64 Tonnes
Class 5 Cargo - 32 Tonnes
Class 4 Cargo - 16 Tonnes
Class 3 Cargo - 8 Tonnes
Class 2 Cargo - 4 Tonnes
Class 1 Cargo - 2 Tonnes

Current max is 128 right, as per original question.
Should be :
Class 6 Cargo - 64 Tonnes
Class 5 Cargo - 32 Tonnes
Class 3 Cargo - 8 Tonnes
Class 3 Cargo - 8 Tonnes
Class 3 Cargo - 8 Tonnes
Class 2 Cargo - 4 Tonnes
Class 2 Cargo - 4 Tonnes
Total w/o shields = 128 Tonnes
You also will have to replace the Basic Discovery Scanner as well.
(At least when I did it on my Asp).
The Class 3 shield won't work/fit on an Asp, I believe, due to tonnage limit. Either that or I got a "nerfed" Asp. To put bare-minimum shields, you'd have to drop the Cl5 cargo pod (32 Ton one) for a total of 92 tonnes. Through creative reduction and then swapping you may be able to force a drop to a 8 ton fuel tank (Cl3?) which would boost your range due to less weight, but would have to refuel at each stop, and going through systems with no stations = clear save. On second thought, you many not "have enough fuel" to even make the 1st jump out.. nevermind the last.
