a TB p&p + bump stop + tb bypass would be a good route to go to max out that area....

New Era (sponser) will port your TB for $75. Damn good deal. It will be much easier to install a TB than a UDP. UDP much of the front of the engine has to come apart, that's why most people change it when they swap cams, because the front of the engine has to come apart anyway for a cam swap. Just changing the pulley alone might not be worth it because of the labor involved.

I have an ASP pulley. I forget the belt size, but the install instructions should tell you.

TB. i netted 2 rwhp w/ the pulley... not worth the $200+ for the 2rwhp.

yea i just saw the slp one on byunspeed. as i figured its a waste. $200 and they didnt even remove the shaft in the front. i bet they dont even do the bump stop mod either. just have bo white do it for you for $75. he does virtually everything that can be done to a tb. (i read a while back that he was becoming a sponsor on here again?? thats the only reason i posted his price, if he isn't i apologize in advance.)
