cold air intake, or the unorthodox lightened underdrive crankshaft pully?

Personally, I mounted an electric fan on my trunk. Added some nice thrust.

they're both very much worth the money if you're looking for power. buy them both if/when you can afford it.

CAI is a basic upgrade to add some more power to your car, definitely get that. But you should also think about getting the UDP, I have one and you will rev much faster.

To get the most out of a CAI you really need to get the other side of the engine to breath better too. So you need to open up the exhaust as well..... Without doing any exhaust work you might get 5hp or so from just a CAI. Open up the exhaust and you'll probably see another 2-3 hp from the CAI plus whatever your exhaust works gives you.

You might get 6-8 hp from a pulley. If you don't live in the south you probably won't notice the loss of AC in the summer.
