get some pullies, but honestly the best bang for the buck is gears, not really a bolt on, more so "a bolt in" and of course the proper set up specs of a gear install

^^^+1. I'd get some gears. It will complement your H/C/I nicely. And since you are getting a H/C/I in a month I'd start getting the necc. upgrades for the car(24lb injectors, 190lph fuel pump, larger MAF, TB, etc.) You can add pulleys. But personally, I did not notice any power improvement. But it's your car.

only if you run a huge stereo...lol exhaust noise ftw!!!!.......as for 4.10's, depends on the tire size used, 3.73's are an all around good street strip gear

I like my 4:10's, especially with the boost. But many feel that the 3:73's are a good choice. As for the UDP's my lights were slightly dimmed at idle. My steering was more notchier and my battery dummy gauge would jump back and fourth. But I had no major charging issues.
