good choice

the pulley is a nice addition on top of other modifications, you will actually feel the 10-12hp...how do you like the tune so far? makes it a whole different car right

the pulley will not have any benefit from the tune, so my recommendation is to add a high performance air filter(BMC or MS) and an x-pipe(hfc's or catless) to your current mods to really bring out that power...the x-pipe is where you will be getting most of your power and you will need a re-tune to compliment those mods

A pulley is definitely in the top three power mods that you can get. In my experience it's in this order:

1) Tune: huge increase in overall power from top to bottom.

2) HFC's or catless x-pipe: big power bump, especially mid to top.

3) Pulley: increased response from top to bottom with the biggest difference low to mid.

the Gintani X-pipe and Akra rear section seems to be a nice combo as well.

Pulley would definitely be one of the top mods along with a tune and the x-pipe
