Mitch with the mods you already have on your car I doubt you'll really feel the difference, but every little bit helps.

The pulley will make the car feel like it rev's easier...

The FTRA may not be felt.. but will improve your track times.

I noticed a definate SOTP increase with the FTRA. I put the block off plate on one time to use one of those brushless car washes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> and was thinking what the hell is wrong with my car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Then I remembered that the plate was on. If you can keep your foot outta the gas you may also notice an increase in mileage. If your tuned into your car I would think these two mods together will be fairly noticeable.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty "in tune" with my car so I'm hoping I notice a difference in feel. I noticed the effect of the Nitto DR's immediately. I'll be installing everything this weekend hopefully and let everyone know.

I have these 2 items on order to arrive in the next couple days. What kind of SOTP feel should I get from them if I install both at the same time.

Mod #1: ATI Crank Pulley
Mod #2: Fast Toys Ram Air System (new style)

Thanks guys,
Mitch R.

One or the other you may have trouble noticing but I would be willing to bet that you will notice a difference if you put them both on at the same time.
