22mm Alta RSB
Alta CAI
Alta stubby antenna

that should be pretty much all Im gonna do to it..well of course some seat time on the track will help a lot and best bang for my buck...but thats a given.

I am assuming you have an R53. I that is so you REALLY need a pully.

Pully maybe later..but Im not that interested in straight line speed. I think the car is fast enough to have plenty of fun on and off the track. We'll see..

You have the pulleys? How are they? Huge difference?

You can never have to much money or HP.

I used to have a 300ZX and new owners would say why mod, this is a fast car.
They would drive a moded car.
Then the modding would start. One guy could not stop and last I read he had over 700hp.

Drive a car with a pulley and see for yourself.
