I would go with #1 !

It is good insurance to go with that 3.7" Pulley + plus you can get 25-40 extra HP's out of it and you will have fuel to go with the B@@ST

Thanks,Matt

I agree with Mark! It'll be one of those pay me now or pay me later things and you might as well do it while you've got the funds!

I must agree also, your tranny will be the first to go. Might as well sell your stocker, while it's in good working order. But a new clutch might be in order to go with that new tranny. Might be a little out of budget.

While the front of the motor is accessible, pm Arun aka eb02z06 aka
Arun@CDNPERF and ask him about a two piece timing chain cover. This way, you can change your cam and not have to pull the rack if you don't do it now.

He's a Great Guy and will take care of you! Just a thought that might make your life easier later!

Good Luck!
