Get the Agency Power pulley. Very well worth it. You get lots more throttle response and it feels like the engine spins up faster. I paid $125 for mine and I love it!!!

If you are familiar with cars, go ahead and try to do it yourself. But I recommend professional installation. When I installed mine, I didn't know that the tensioner for the belt had to be "pumped" down like five times before it loosens up the belt enough to slip off so I broke mine on the first pull(pulling very hard). Yeah, $160 wasted. You'll love the gas pedal after it's on though.

ac3 boogi3, so the spacer is worth it you think? what cai do you have? i heard that the spacer might not fit right with all intakes.. i have the Injen cai. I also heard that the throttle body bypass can make your engine idle ****ty when it gets cooler outside like under 50 degrees.. have you had any problems? whats the aem bypass valve you were talking about do you have the site for that? this is what i found. i suppose for 16 bux if it messes with the idle i can just take it off.

i have no idea of what that coolant does .. the link i showed you was for a throttle body spacer ..the coolant is something else .. you'll have to research on that bro.

The spacer opens the throttle body an inch so that more air can flow into your intake. YES its worth it in my opinion .. MORE TORQUE .. MORE AIR EQUALS MORE POWER .. SAVES GAS SO THATS MORE MONEY .. The only problem is that it lowers your intake one inch also making it much easier for water to enter thats why i bought the AEM bypass valve SMART HUH ? lol

i have an AEM cold air intake. I bought a AEM bypass valve to prevent water from being sucked up into the intake then into the engine .. that will cause hydro-lock and sieze your engine ( NOT GOOD )

NOTE: ONLY for AEM CAI (cold air intakes) !!!!!

HERES THE LINK FOR THE AGENCY CRANK PULLEY
