Cool. I'm not really anal about numbers, I'd just like to free up more of the HP that the car already has IMO, anything that makes the car run better is an important and thus necessary mod

Rick's pulley's won't free up anything. I had thought about purchasing them, but wanted to research the gins first. Past owners with the mod said it made no power difference because the difference in weight is basically nothing.

How ever a flywheel is going to change the car entirely. Not just in power gains, but the drivability. Power should be increased a bit top end, but the best gains will be seen mid range. Your torque will see a nice increase down low. The car will rev smoother and faster, and just feel a lot more better all around. Honestly this was my favorite mod of all on mine. combine it with a nice clutch or even just a PP and your set.

I just wanted to give a review of my new 4.77 gears. They are effing incredible. First gear pulls a little harder and faster, but once you hit 2nd gear it's a whole new car! My god this car pulls so much harder now, I can't wait to finally break them in and start assraping some 350's.

If you guys have some spare cash, do yourself a favor and get the 4.77 gears. You will NOT be disappointed!

BTW I now have my VAFC2, just need to wire it up. My J's header comes in tomorrow I think and my Bilstein coils should be coming this week as well. I'll keep everyone updated... can't wait to hit the dyno and see the 230 mark!

Nice numbers, but you'd greatly benefit from the J's 70 single exhaust. You'd probably gain another 10 horses...
