do pulleys make power for our na cars ?

no power till you pass about 90ish, which is slow as it is. my best mod before FI was definately the Jet ECU upgrade, found on JCwhitney for only $229.95

maybe some ignition mods, after that its mainly about internals which isnt cheap. Port and polish maybe?

time to dump in some cash and either get some port work done or a cam....or both IMO pullies are not worth the cash for the minimal gain you get.
I am getting close to the same point you are, after I buy the random tech hiflow cat. after that its cam and headwork time.

get your cam re-grouded (sp) by crower. i think its crower. i heard you have to send it in through mail tho. but yeah, theres not much for our cars. but after the cam, do internals like everyone else has been saying.

jus letting you know... NA on d17 is definitely not the best bang for your buck...

nitrous is the cheapest option. like civichx said, NA will probably be the most expensive, though no one knows the potential until someone tries.

DHRacing ( www.dh-racing.com ) makes a nice intake manifold for the D17, along with some other cool stuff like ported heads and what-not. An ECU upgrade will advance your timing as well as mess with some other things, but you'd have to upgrade to premium fuel most likely. Pulleys should free up some horsepower too. And unless you want it smog legal, get a high flow cat, or get rid of the cat all together, STRAIGHT PIPES BABY!!!!

you could always get the v-afc II and get it tuned to your car. since you already have i/h/e, that should give you 4 or 5 extra horsies.

or you could also get your car dynotuned, i read a post on this site that somebody got 7 hp after getting their car dynotuned, and they had the same basic setup as you.

other than that, intake manifold, jet ecu, and internals on your engine

We dynoed our car this last weekend. We have a Injen SRI, DC Header & a 5 Zigen Cat-back.

We added: 5.3HP & 7.9lbs of torque.

Not that impressive but good enough for the time being. We are going to do a sick set-up over the next 1-2 years.

We added: 5.3HP & 7.9lbs of torque. just from that thats awesome, but im definately gonna get the intake manifold and maybe some high compression pistons

You can run a Jet ECU & a V-AFC no problem. PM me if you need a hook up!
