As with any mod, excluding nos,supercharger or turbo,you wont really see a noticable increase in power. It is the sum of all parts you bolt up that adds the HP you want to see. So yea a CAI or UDP's arent really worth the money if you are just going to install those and leave everything else stock. But if you plan on doing any mods in the future, which you will once you get those on, you will want every little thing that you can get because they all compliment each other.

i heard for a daily driver it's not a good upgrade. more of a race mod? true or not? not sure if i should buy them now.
Buy them, its a good starting point for future mods. They will probably only give you maybe 5 hp but the next mod will add more hp than that mod adds alone.

Just make sure you dont get aluminum pulleys, they will get worn by the belts after a while and you will need to replace them. They are all pretty much the same, no matter what anyone says.

Just make sure you get the set with the integrated damper (around $200 or so) and not the bolt over (usually $140 or so).

A high grade aluminum pulley will last longer than your engine. As always, you'll get what you pay for.
