if anything i would say go the header route. it will free up moe knock then a downpipe and powerlog and they sound great. makes the car sound like its actually got some balls now. im also running it with out a cat cause i dont have emissions here.
if your looking into tunning and buying a pcm i would go with overkill. his pcms are awesome. or you could just buy a HPtunner and do it yourself.
the thing is pulley should be one of your LAST mods. its unsafe to just go switching them out.
and like i said your gonna need injectors if you go past a 3.5. the older style injectors dont work for our cars but i have found that 03-04 cobra injectors work and i think they are 39.5 pounds so that should alow you to get close to a 3.0 pulley. when you have the supporting mods.
