Simple questions! Air & pulleys
I'm ready to buy a cold air kit for my 01 GT. I also want to buy pulleys right now at the same time I buy the intake system.
Question 1: What brand would you guys suggest in an intake system that would at least give me 5 hp if anything at all. BBK, MAC, etc.
Question 2: Are all pulley kits basically the same? I mean, does every manufacturer use the same recipe in size of the altenator, water and crank pulleys? I found a BBK three pulley kit for $136. This is the kit where I keep my stock dampner. Other than that, what's the difference in brands? Summit has a kit for my car for $99.
My GT is stock and these will be the first mods to the engine. Thanks, Mark M

I got my kit from www.tunableinduction.com John Demolet, and he's a great guy and will answer any questions you have, plus the system looks sweet. My car came with underdrive pulleys but most of my friends go with Steeda. But...if you can get alittle more, i would get 4.10's as my first mod, you will really love your car after that.

4 in to 3 in, it's a durable plastic that stays cool not hot like the metal ones and i've had the BBK CAI and it gets hot. also the K&N FIPK would work. also if you need spark plugs, john demolot will give them to you for really cheap. i got my TR55's for like 5 bucks when i bought my kit. Tell him Travis with the white saleen sent you.

With the say $400 you spend on the UDP's and CAI and not really notice much of a difference you could do the gears and REALLY notice an improvement!!

Yes, gears are a must! I just want to get my GT to take a bigger breath of air for starters. And pulleys really seem to make sence to me. I will get 4:10 gears after theses two mods. I enjoy the high speed low RPM cruising I do here in SOCAL on the freeways with my auto trans. But if I want to kick everybodys ***, I know I need those gears!
Anyone have 4.10's with an auto trans? Besides the great acceleration,Hows the cruising speeds feel? Mark M
Oh, by the way, thanks for everybody's feedback.

IMO- The best bang for the buck would be the gears, I did just like you started out cai and pulleys and was not impressed to spend that kind of cash and not at least feel anything, so the next week I did the 4 10's and yeah baby was well worth the money.. if 5hp is all you want then either go with your plan or draft behind me and save the money
I also have the auto trans later when the wallet is fat either go all the way and get a lentech street strip transmission or at least PI Stallion 2800 torque converter trust me you will be sastified
