Default Underdrive pulleys, cam gears, or something else for Xmas present????

For my 99 SI. Currently has mods listed in sig. Which should I ask to get for Xmas. I'm going to be paying for it so I am trying to keep it as close to $100 as I can but know it will cost a bit more for either. Or is there another mod I should get instead? Give me some ideas guys.

I would really rather get the pulley's because I want to do the cam gears whenever I can afford some CTR cams but don't know if the pulley's are worth it.

pulleys won't do much, bit I think its worth it. especially when you are trying to get everylittle little bit of horsepower you can get.

even the cam gears will be a fair amount over 100 bucks unless u get them used. if you are concered with pulleys, id reccommend takin out the ac instead. it reduces weight by like 50 pounds and is one less pulley for drag. just keep it in case you wanna put it back in. id save till i could get that ctr cam, put it in then worry about gettin the camgear
