Yes I think you will be very happy with these mods. I heard the spacer adds a little Hp, the pulley and the headers is what you will notice the most. Just install then drive, and enjoy.

Nice upgrades! I so want to do the headers, but I'm hearing too many up's and downs w/the XS headers, so I can't make up my mind just yet. Throw those bad boys on and let us know what the results are.

no... and someone correct me if im wrong...
the light weight pulley reduces some, but not as much parasitic drag, as the underdrive pulley.
the lightweight pulley is pretty much the same as OEM, only lighter...
the underdrive pulley is smaller than OEM, and underdrives the AC and alternator, or rather those systems do not perform as well... and your engine is able to put more power to the wheels instead of those systems.. or something along those lines
at least thats all i know... anyone else
?

ALRIGHT THANKS FOR THE ANSWER.....

I've had the UR underdrive crank pulley for over a year, and the only difference I've noticed was the increased power! I haven't experienced any additional effort to steer, even when parking the TLS or steering in tight spaces, and my AC still keeps me cool even in those rare 100 degree days in the Portland area. But then again, I work out regularly and I'm already cool
