UD pulley is well worth it. I have no experience with the headers.

If your on a bugget then I suggest a test pipe instead of the headers and a Kinky mid-pipe. We have test pipes now so you can get that from me as well.

But other than that you should go with the UD pulley hands down.

Hard to say what cars you'll be able to race head to head with...depends on way to many factors.

The UD add 5 HP at base line. At higher RPM's you will get up to 20 HP. As far as warranty goes it will not void your warranty unless it was the cause of the problem.

t3h shox question. You seem to be interested in what cars our car can beat, and I was wondering are there any cars in particular that you wanted to beat? Or are you just wondering what cars we can taken on? With just the cat back and CAI on my car I have beaten the following:

Hyundai Tiburon
Ford Focus
For Mustang (non GT)
Unknown Japanese import
A couple of Honda Civics

Nope none. If your running a big stereo or lots of electronics PM me with all the info on them and I'll let you know if it might give you problems.

Bad timing for you but the price went up to $299. Still well worth it. I'm probably going to start on a full pulley system for not much more--people w/ UD Pulleys would get a discount already. I'll be building one for my car and dyno'ing it, if there are any worthy gains it'll go to production.
