Change the crank pulley that is the only one that will give you a gain. get the underdrive one unless you have a sound system

Just get the crank pulley. I have all the pulleys, but mine came in a package used... Definitely worth changing though! THe car accelerates much quicker and just feels all around peppier.

Definitely worth it. It's simple: stock crank pulley = ~10 pounds; UR underdrive crank pulley = ~2 pounds. Crank can spin faster, allows engine to build revs quicker, brings you to the power faster. I immediately noticed less lag after downshifting.

You will see the most power gains from the crank pulley. If you have a stereo I'd recommend a stock diameter lightweight crank pulley:

Actually I beleive the headers give the biggest gain but crank pulley is not bad for the price

What Excelerate meant is that you will see the biggest gains pulley wise from the crank pulley. The power steering and alternator pulleys really don't do much other than look nice.
