    Not necessarily true...you can go other routes cheaper, such as methanol injection, a custom tuned PCM, and/or rockers/cam. It isn't always about dropping pulleys...a guy with a larger pulley and a better tune will eat up a smaller pulley car that isn't tuned well enough.

    Fullsize intercooler, .2-.4" pulley size decrease with 12's afr and add a few more degrees of timing is where its at. But its at $1000.

    Cam is great, but if its done right it pretty much means built tranny. Your initial cost of $500-1000 for cam install really comes out to total $2000-3000 after tranny work/labor. Thats not including larger injectors, tune, etc.

    Rockers are pretty straight forward for install. I would go with modified stock rockers to 1.9 ratio and L76/LS6 springs. Should cost $260-400.

    tuning is a given...shouldn't be dropping many pulley sizes without
