Default got another question

ok. i get paid fri. and since i only have to pay $66 for my court fees from my trespassing ticket, i was going to order March pulleys and a Pro 5.0 shifter. now, the question. on March's website, it says gains of around 12hp. but, my friend said "a whopping 3hp". which is it ?? and should i even worry about pulleys at all, and just get the shifter and get gears next paycheck. or should i go ahead and get pulleys ??? thanks

see, one of my friends owns a performance shop here and he said if i wanted geard, id of course have to pay for the gears($189 from Ford Racing and then the cost of the other gears i need), but, he said hed install them for cheap if i help since im goin to school to become a mechanic, so, this way, i can do a little bit more than what i can now. but, im gettin better and better. helping my friend out a lot more, helping him out and so on. i wouldve ordered a shifter yesterday, but, had to pay court fees and forgot about a bill i had. so, that ruined that. so, within the next month, im DEFINITELY gettin a shifter. then, gears. but, thanks for the honesty
