What are you looking to get out of the car? If you want to improve your ET get some drag radials. That will help you more than anything else. If you want to gain HP, I would get the cheapest crank pulley you can get and maybe a SCT or Diablo chip.

BTW~I'd recommend a Pro 5.0 or Tri-Ax shifter, if you don't have one and lowering springs...

air flow = hp

dont know on the size, but dont get a bbk or mac one, get an accufab

and either a steeda triax or pro5.0 shifter, both are great, i like the triax personally
