I would agree fully with boogi3. Oh and try and do the installs yourself. The intake is easy. The header/ S pipe you might want to take to a shop if you dont have jack stands, tools, or experience.

And about the throttle body spacer... it makes a cool noise, but its basically usless, not even a gain you will notice.

pulleys dont "gain" hp, they "recover" hp being lost from the crank to the wheels. maybe 5hp if i remember. this conversation is definitely on this forum somewhere...
