Also something to consider is underdrive pulleys... relatively cheap ($70ish) and not too hard of an install. It'll get u a few HP.

Hey i would go AEM Cold air that wat my girlfriend has on her civic. It works wonders. Just make sure you dont drive tru deep water. You can buy a bypass vavle but i herd that takes some hp out of your motor.

Best bang for the buck would B NOS!!

A bypass valve will only hurt your hp if u install it wrong. Reason being, b/c u have to cut the intake in order to put it in, if u cut wrong or leave anywhere for air to escape then thats when u start losing hp. All in all they are a good investment to prevent Hydrolocking (that thing that EVERYONES friend has seen done, but u never have. haha)

[/QUOTE]

Underdrive Pulley Kits are designed to replace the pulleys on both the alternator and power steering pump. They are lighter and bigger in diameter. This is what they look like:

Thats true, with a high wattage stereo. The alternator will pull on it too much if u are running a kick @$$ system, but if your staying with somewhat mediocre tunes than its a good mod.

Thanks for catching that slim, I'd hate to steer someone in the wrong direction.

yeah i found that one out the hard way....when put my pulleys on after my swap...my headlights would dim and the stereo would sound like $hit. I tried so many different things before i realized it was just the pulleys. Just a heads up for everybody so they dont get freaked out if things start actin funny
