Default Is pulley upgrade worth it?

I am looking at my next upgrade. The only mods I have right now are a CAI and a SC tuner. And it looks like it will be a pulley. So I was wanting to know if the pulley change is worth it? And if so what are the better brands to go with? Thanks.

Spend the money on an exhaust first.

Get your engine to breathe first, then go from there.

e-fan etc.

pulley change isn't worth the money, and it (your money) would be much better spent on exhaust.

I agree then when you are at the point where the under drive will compliment your mods then look into the Summit SFI 20% Harmonic Damper.

If all I had were a CAI and a SC, my next mod would be 456s in the rear diff.

The minute gains from a pulley at 5500rpm are not worth the idle charging issues on a daily driver.
