Crank pulley or headers & spacers??

So, I can get the Unorthodox crank pulley and new required belts shipped for $225, but then I would also have to pay to get it installed.

OR

I can get the headers from SS Autochrome for $103 shipped and the ThermoBlok intake manifold spacers from Outlaw Engineering for $101 shipped and do the install with a couple of friends which would only cost a few cases of beer.

Which do you think I should do? People with or without these parts please respond.
What's going to be the best bang for my buck?

I know its not a option but i would do header and pulley. those 2 give the most gains for the motor. If you and a few friends are going to install the header you could install the crank pulley

I've installed pulleys before (on my Maxima). It wasn't a bad install really, easier than the headers IMO because its easier access to the pulleys and associated bolts.

headers give the best power gains though overall, and i've heard pulleys are 2nd.

I just went ahead and ordered the headers to start off. Since I have to get jack stands, PB blaster, socket extension, i will just get the headers for now. The reason why I wanted to get the spacers is cuz I want to take the IM off to clean out my EGR port so I would have everything apart already. HHHMMMMM........
