Think things through and spend money where it counts, ask how and why and try and understand the processes involved, that is what can make you fast especially with a limited budget like most of us have.
Look at my car, stock balancer, stock wp, stock timing chain, these things are not replaced because the WORK. The kids on these boards will have you buying crap just because someone sells it without putting any real thought into the hows and whys.
I will say that at some point I will have a nice ATI underdrive damper, but the real goal there will be the nice ATI damper, the UD will just be an afterthought. I might pickup an electric WP to slap on in fall for a little extra nudge in the good weather, I will not DD one though due to the failure mode of them.
Another thing to consider is most of these guys are not bright enough to understand a cammed car may not need a OD alternator pulley where a stock car probably would benifit from one. There is the source of conflicting info on that.
