Default ls6 intake or ud pulley

I'm chomping at the bit to do another mod for a "christmas present" to myself.

Should I get and install a ls-6 intake or an underdrive pulley as my next mod.

I know that by this spring I will have both, but I can only afford one right now. I would probably just get the ud pulley if the slp ls6 intakes were not such a screaming deal right now (about 365 shipped). I will also be doing a medium cam, stall, tuning, & drag radials down the road.

I currently have an A4 99 T/A with the following modsacesetter Lts, Hooker cat back, Lid, 180 thermo & misc free mods.

That's DEFINATLY a no brainer. Get the ls6 intake for sure.

I went ahead and actually converted this to a poll.

I'll just reiterate what everyone else said. The intake is defiinitely a must. IMO a pulley is one of the last boltons you should do.

Where are you finding them that cheap? I checked some sponsors and they are all charging around $500 for them.

Intake without even thinking man. Like someone else already said, get a UD pulley when you do your cam swap....it's a free install then
