save yourself the trouble of getting the bottom and top of the engine work, and just turbo the damn thing.

ok i just got a crank pulley which weighs like 1.5 lbs i noticed a big gain on the low end when i put it on, it good saves alot of weight because i think the stock one is very heavy like 10lbs or more, apart from intake, header exhaust, there isnt much available for our cars yet, i also got an aem cam gear and set it to 3 degrees advance and felt a big gain from that
