Default air foils and pulleys...

i was reading an article on supposedly the mods with the "best bang for the buck" and an after market air foil and crank pulley were in the top ten. of course the gain is little, but as we all know all of the little things can add up to a significant gain. i don't have too much money right now, but a 160 thermostat, air foil, and crank pulley -the three of them together- fall into my price range right now. do you guys think i could pick up a couple of tenths or so from all this? is it worth it or should i wait and buy bigger stuff? thanks for the input.

The air foil isn't that bad of a mod really, but if you get a 160 TStat, get it tuned for it. If your custom tune is just to convert you to OBD1, you should get a real tune for it. If it IS tuned, just have it updated to run with a 160 stat. If it's not, use the money for the pulley and get it done. Most of what I've read on here, say the pulleys really aren't worth it.
