Any clue which pulley is best? I have the 7AT if it makes any difference. Was thinking about doing 4.08 gears, but it would be a little expensive for me with a 7AT and wouldn't be good for DD.

Exhaust/HFC/Intake/Tune
Thats all you really need.
As said before thousands of times on the forums, our cars are already well made and i am mostly talking about our headers. Thats just a waste of money if you ask me and if you ask the majority of the members here. Ive read many positive comments regarding an uprev tune after your basic installs. I too will tune my Z next Wed and will have this combo. In the end its your car and Its just my opinion. Good luck with the choice you make.

I totally agree with you. I wish that I hadnt bought my headers.

I think it's the Stillen headers that are causing the fitment issues, which is what I've read from some other threads. I think I've decided not to get the headers, but now I just need to decide about the Motordyne intake manifold. Just trying to squeeze out as much power as I can without spending tons of money on it.

Yeah ive been doing my reserach as well and also have noticed that the Stillen Headers arent worth it. I already have the FI Exhuast/ HFCs /G3 Intakes combo and im cool with it. Problably get a tune then settle down and save money lol

I know that Triple's runs NST pulleys and has had great results. He has the 7AT as well and his Z puts down impressive numbers on the dyno. If I were to do pulleys personally, I would go for the NST pulleys. They allow the engine to rev more quickly and frees up some power as well, a win win in my book!

Awesome! They are definitely on my list of mods to get now

I have the NST Pulleys right now, just waiting for the back-ordered belt to come in to schedule an install.
