You'll notice the gears alot more than the underdrive pullies. Get the gears first.

Pullies won't get you much,, butprobablymore than an aftermarket CAI

What engine do you have? Tranny?

get the gears but save the 100 for the pullies and spend it elsewhere.

pullies are such a waste of cash.

Underdrive pullies could give you an extra 5 hp, maybe almost 10hp and every little bit adds up. Get 5hp from pullies, 2-3 hp from a CAI or just open up your factory air intake, 10-15 hp from exhaust upgrades.. do all that and you might grab 25-30 extrahp & it's all stuff you can do yourself.
