With larger injectors, you have to get a tune or your engine won't sputter at all (dumping too much fuel into the cylinders). IMO, more work than it's worth if you're not going FI.
Oh alright thank you any other bolt on mods you think I can do to make more power? except headers?

Not sure that's much of a horror story. The same thing can happen to the stock pulleys over time. Why would you want to remove them?

to go to a supercharger. light weight pulleys usually wont work well with sc's

there's a vid floating around youtube somewhere showing the lengths a company is having to do to remove a lw crank pulley that is fused to the crank. maybe someone can chime in on who/where this vid is

Yea, I won't be going beyond 500hp on this car so it should be fine. You also need to make sure to add an anti-seizing compound before you install them. Same thing can happen to the stock pulleys.
