How bad will that affect my mileage? i drive about 120 mile round trip 4 days a week. But as for an intake or pulleys what is your opinion? Thats what all the people are telling me to get.

I'd get a cheap beater if I were driving that much. One thing you should decide is if you are going to go s/c or juice - this will help guide what mods you make.

The intake would be a real waste if going s/c, if he's going n/a, I'd throw an intake on at the very end (maybe).
