a good performing ram air is definitely one of the best bangs for the buck...It was my second mod on my car back when i was SI, only to the lid...

A perfect time to do a pulley is when you are going to put a cam in....

If you have plans on a cam in the future, I would wait on the pulley until then. It really is a lot easier then since you have to have the stocker off anyway

It will work, you just have to be creative with your cooler placement. Do a search in the auto trans section.

Idle quality is part of driveability, higher idle means a lose in drivablity. I never said it was not streetable, I think he would be perfectly fine doing this mod to his car, but there is a small lose in drivablity.
