As far as SGP they are very honest people. I had my car there for 4 months for my 2nd motor build. I just picked it up last week and the tune is all wacked because of the increase in temps I'm experiencing in Miami compared to Houston. Mark offered to fly to Miami during the weekend to retune my car. I took the offer, but decided to just install the HKS FCON while he is out here. They do quality work and have excellent customer service.

they are a good bunch of guyz. Mark is real cool but if i can do it myself then thats what ill do. the customer service is wonderful I went there many times befor i bought anything and they never forced me to but anything. their skill and z knowledge is unsurpassed, I know i can get more bang for the buck when i install my bolt on's adn have them install my technical stuff.

You could install the following mods on a Saturday afternoon if you have the tools. Ask some of your buddies to help you and just buy them beer.

Injen super ses exhaust
Aps Cat delete pipes
Injen cold air intake

do you really have to go with all 3 pulleys? other then the crank, the other two are just for show. Save yourself $130 and go with just the crank. Injen cold air is ok but you would be better of with a popcharger which will give you similar if not better gains and you save another $150. $280 saved, I smell a MD 5/16th spacer with ISO thermal gasket. lose the 2 pulleys, go with a popcharger and get the 5/16th plenum spacer. Much better setup IMHO.
