Ditto on that. From reading other threads (some with dyno #'s) I think those two mods might give you 5-10 HP at peak. The header though, that's another story. I don't know for sure, but I'd think that would net some measurable gains even lower in the RPM range.

Probably not a good idea to add a pulley to a Cooper....

Dip in torque at 3500. Not unusual apparently. Saw it on my pre-ECU remap dyno too.
