Underdrive pulleys. I agree, gears are the best bang for the buck.

Gears are the next thing on my list after the CAI. I was warned to shop around for a qualified shop to have them installed although many say they can do it they may not do it properly. My cousin is a rep for AAA and former engine builder/tuner told me he manages about 70 mechanic shops in Houston and "none of them have the pinion depth gauges, run out gauges etc, if that gives you any idea of the rarity of capable techs". He could only recommend 1 shop in the entire Houston metro area... and of course it's on the other side of town about 70 miles from me. Maybe someone on here can recommend a quality installer in your area with the proper equipment if you don't already know of one. Also be sure have the bearings changed out at the same time, it's a small price to pay for the insurance.

Go with a Dynotech drive shaft. You will feel the difference more so than pulleys.
Bolt-ons that are worth it?
