I hate to point out the obvious (actually I don’t), but why are you posting here then?

Pulleys really dont do much. Dont expect to really get any gain from them. When they were installed on my friends ride he dynoed 282rwhp and the week before is when he got his intake on and dynoed at 281rwhp and the dyno charts where near identical in comparison.

After doing this we thought we would mess with him sense I am against them and uninstall them to see if he noticed. He went 2 months with out them before he noticed when he popped his hood. So much to say they were sold on Ebay.

If you take the money on a set of LCU and Pullys and take them to the track doing LCU's will make your car run a faster 1/4

Pullys to me and TB's are a huge waste of money.

TB's are good only if you are pushing a TS blower or a high powered motor with engine work.

If you want a faster car build up your rear suspension and get your self a drive shaft.

The weight reductions will do more for your performance then any other mickey mouse bolt on you can find.

If you have the time and money do LT's and an O/R Pipe.

Save your money and honestly get a better intake. Get a JLT and a custom dyno tune and you will smoke any GT on the street with basic bolt ons. Or call Doug from Bama Tunes and have him send you a tune.

He makes great NA tunes other then that the only way your going to see a differnce in your car is with nitrous, SC or Engine work the next best thing is weight reductions and suspension.

Just doing rear suspension took off .8 seconds off my 1/4

If you do cams after you do your headers you should also do head work as well. get some port and polish work done sense you will need to replace your valves and springs with the more aggressive cam.

Also with that much added power bigger injectors and fuel pumps will help give you more power on the tune. Thats going allow you to get a more aggressive tune and be safe still with the more fuel.

Also I dont think any one mentioned the best mod to get really is your gears

I mentioned gears that was number 1 on my post on page 1. Oh what the heck is a LCU. Do you mean LCA? Long tube headers helped me. I got the Kooks LT`S ,and off road X pipe. I added the Steeda radiator support which took some weight off the front end.The 1 piece Power House which was number 2 on my previouse post helped. The LCA`S and relocation brackets,with the adjustable UCA helped get the power to the ground.That was number 3 .

LT headers, X pipe and you already have axlebacks. that is the full exhaust.

Now you already have a CAI so go with some delete plates to add a few ponies especially up high.

To free up HP add a 1 piece driveshaft and UDP's and the driveshaft is a lot lighter to boot

Then some UCA and LCA for better suspension and maybe debate lowering your ride for better handling as well.

And some big meaty tires for traction.

If it wasn't for higher HP cars needing ported head that to me is the biggest wast of money and I would have to disagree with STLWAGON that cams alone are not worth it 30-35RWHP with good tune for about 750-800 installed yourself verses getting cams for that amount and heads for $1500 a piece with adds up to over $3800 for what a whopping 50-80RWHP how does that make since, not many people get stage 3+ cams that needs phasers and spings anyway and end up wasting money.
