I am just saying that modding just to buy more useless shiney parts isn't a good idea. Do some research, save up your money, and modify when you are ready, educated, and financially responsible to do so. For now, just keep the car well maintained so that when you are ready to do some serious mods, the car will be in good shape.

You should invest in making sure your car is well tuned and up to par in the maintenence dept before doing any mods. Than you will have a solid platform to work with.

stay away from those underdrive pulleys. esp. the ones that go on the crank.
If you take off your harmonic damper and replace it for an underdrive pulley, you will have a crank pulley that doesnt dampen any harmonic frequencies that damage your oil pump and engine. So that 7hp increase will come at the price of longevity.
