I'll have an intake manifold available once I put my extra one in. You can remove the VTCS and port out the opening- that should help. Or just get that 626 manifold from protegegarage.com.

I could probably use another set of hands for sure. The install won't be for awhile though since I haven't touched the extra manifold yet- still have to remove the VTCS and port that manifold before I rip off the one from my car.

Did you guys see this:

I should have my lightweight ALT pulley coming in next week! I'll also get the water pump and power steering pump pullies when they become available. I've already got a lightweight underdrive pulley (that helped ALOT).

I've been watching this pretty close, my only question is how much power are you actually going to get. These are not an underdrive pully. They are stock size but 3x's lighter than OEM weight. How much power is really going to come from lighter weight?

Spinning weight is bad. I read somewhere that 1 pound of rotating weight is equivalent to 4 pounds of non-rotating weight.

And when you're NA like me, you'll take any kind of gains where ever you can get them!
