They are definitely worth the money. The spacers you can get from www.outlawengineering.com

The UR pulley you can get from me.

I had the spacers and the pulley put on at the same time as well as a CAI. I also did a before and after dyno that gave me over 10 hp and over 12 tq. I definitely feel the difference, so yes it's worth it!

Unorthodox Racing is the most popular brand of pulley... http://www.unorthodoxracing.com/ ...they make 2 kinds, a lightweight underdrive pulley and a lightweight stock sized pulley.

PM Josh at Excelerate for more info on which type you need

Pulley IMO is best mod bang for the buck. If you have a lot of funds then go for the pro e-cats or even supercharger. I have both throttle bosy and intake thermoblock spacers, and an underdrive pulley, plus a cai. I dynoed at 261hp and 241 torque at the wheels. (type-s)

thanks!

Very easy, I give it a 3 out of 10 on difficulty scale. I changed by myself following the simple instructions they came with in about 1 hour 15 minutes and did the coolant throttle body bypass at the same time. Seriously, it was easy, move intake tube, unbolt throttle body, remove top cover of intake (about10 or so bolts), remove entire intake manifold by unbolting the rest of the bolts below that cover, plus remove various vacuum lines and what not. Too too easy.

Yep...worth it. Expect to pay about $95 for the Outlaw Thermoblok spacers and about $175 for the pulley.
