I am most likely going to buy Pulleys this week. I have my eyes set on Steeda.

They are on sale for $152.00 on ebay + free shipping. Can anyone provide a good review on these, like was it a noticeable change in performance??? Stangnet reviews were good, but some said their car wouldn't charge at idle...

...oh yes, I may possibly have a tri-ax shifter on the way!

Pulley's on a non-supercharged car are something you do to squeeze the last 4-5hp out of your car. You have a long way to go before you need to start caring about that. Save your money for bigger HP gains.

Guess I shouldn't fear the gear then? I'm bidding on 4.10's cause I'm looking for something that will cross me into the high 13's on the track...I'm running a 14.3 with bad 60' times right now so I think it's possible with gears (if I can keep my tires planted).

You won't be able to keep them planted and your times will get worse i am sad to say. Look at Tim for example, it is obvious that his car is stronger after the 4.10s, but traction is nonexistent and his times got worse. :-( Just something to think about. Its always a good idead to take your time and plan out your mods

I think I'll take a break from times for a little while then...not that I won't run it of course :D

I'm so sure now of how I want to lay out my mods that I got my job back at the school...here goes, tell me what ya think

4.10 gears: $200 + $250 install
Superchip microtuner: $300
Drags: Ebay or car club, want to find some under/around $150

I figure that setup will make me pretty happy, with both bragging rights on the streets and at the track.
