Default few general termi questions

1. does that nice sweet blower sound come stock? or is it when you guys do pulley swaps and what not?

What's all involved in doing a pulley swap? what are some of the cheap must-do mods when you first get one? what are some easy hp gains?

thanks guys, i figured you were the experts

1. Yes..factory sound!
Pulley swap not that hard, just need a pulley puller....and more then likely a new belt + tune! ....I pretty much went from a 12.9 to a 12.09 with a pulley, CB & CAI change if that helps....

the whine is there with the stock pulley but it gets louder once you pulley it

i think the wheel hop is more dangerous than the torqueing the rear end to death... in saying that they make stiffer bushing which are on order for my car, also irs bracket will stop the flexing of it and full lenght subframes will also help the torgue(weld in)
