This weekend as some of you know im going to summit racing to spend a few bucks on bolt on's. Ive already decided on getting the catted X-pipe, and i have about $200 left over. I was wondering if the performance pullie setup is worth it? Any down sides to it? Is this a mod that i will actually notice (hp gain wise) or one that i could be better off without?
Pullies worth it?

hell yes. you will feel the difference. get march pullies. they're cheap and work well. i only use the waterpump pulley at the track. i swap it there.

Why on earth would you only use the wp pulley at the track? I live in Phoenix, it's above 100 around 100 days a year - never had a problem.
I used the Steedas with their timing adjuster set to 14 degrees when mine was n/a. I think that was some of the best money I spent.

The car is going to stay n/a most likely. I found these pullies, is that an ok price? Summit is close to where I live and I like their store so thats why I chose them. The car has flows (40 series) and is getting a catted X-pipe this weekend and those pullies as well. What bolt on mods do you guys think i should consider doing next? Im thinking about gears, they dont make any more hp obviously but my dads truck has a 4.30 rear end and i have a 4.10 in mine and love the quick exceleration. Any negatives of getting gears? Ive narrowed it down to the 3.73's, 3.90, and the 4.10's. I understand my gas milage would suffer. anything else? btw all you guys running 4.10s what type of milage do you typically get when your foot is outa it? I get about 23mpg with the 3.27 stock gears.
I figured they (combined with T/A) were worth atleast 5 horsepower 
I guess the "seat of the pants" meter has failed me I know you'll probably look over this suggestion and not take it seriously since it won't make you faster AT ALL though I just had some subframe connectors installed and it helped the car majorly.
Of course I have 130k miles and a nearly 10 year old car though

Pullies = worth it, IMHO.
Catted X + Flows = Surprisingly good sounding! (check my sig)
Subframes = Stiff car, definitely worth it!

Ud = maybe, ac doesn't blow as cold, and I personally don't like the looks of the piggyback ones.
Gears = 4.10's in a 2v provided that highspeed playing is not what you do. Mpg I average 20mpg and get 24 mpg on the hwy cruising at a slightly elevated speed.
SFC = will keep your body panels straight. Also they do help handling, and launching of the car.
Plenum = dunno some see good gains some don't I choose to just p&p my stocker.
Tb = dunno again some see good gains some don't.
cams =
nitrous =
Forced Induction =
Ported heads = can't decide while I think it is a good mod the $ to hp ratio seems low to me.
Lca's = Make the car launch harder and corner better.

I have steeda U/D but gain is mini. Not really worth the money. 13rwhp from pulley? Don't know about that

If there wasnt all this talk about piggyback pulleys blowing up 4.6's id buy a set asap... piggybacks are cheap, the new harmonic balancer ones arent.

theres my graph that shows a 13rwhp gain...and theres 1 fellow stangnet member that was there when i got my pulleys done and dynoed....so i got dyno proof and fellow stangnet member proof....03ghoststang was there when i dynoed it...
