$100 to spend...which part to buy?
So I'm looking at either a lightened crank pulley or solid endlinks for my 96 GM4. If you were poor, which would you spend your money on?

like what BlackWRX? They don't make much for my car, I have a RSB, Eibach Springs, K&N...there isn't much for the L's.

haha I was actually thinking of springs or a sway bar, but I guess you're already on top of that.

endlinks are good

Are pulley gains too minimal? They seem to be popular on NASIOC, keep in mind my 2.2 only puts out like 140, so I need ALL the help I can get!

Is your car MT or AT? You should notice more by doing a 3 piece OEM sized lightweight pulley set rather than just a crank pulley. I had a UD pulley on my last car and didn't notice much.

MT. I don't want to go UD, I was thinking of the Perrin pulley about 4 lbs light than stock, advertised 8HP gains...

I'd say if you can't afford the 3 piece set right now just get the endlinks. Unorthodox and GFB both make 3 piece pulley sets that are lightweight and stock diameter btw.

I'd get endlinks personally cause I think you'll notice the difference.
