for the price of the clutch you could get UDP, ADDCO rsb, and a cheaper FSTB.

Is the udp really worth the money? What can it do for power?

I'd say go with the ACT clutch, if you still have the factory clutch on.

i would agree. get a rvm pulley for 80, addco rsb for 120 or so and an ebay fstb normally around 40 or 50.

i got a question about this RVM pulley -- i thought it was just in the works and was a stock lightweight pulley for the supercharger.. nothing like the smaller Under Drive Pulley from U/R. unless they make an Underdrive Pulley for $80!! i want to buy the UDP as well.

but in my opinion get the ACT!

No the RVM is just as small as the U/R the only difference is that the RVM weighs .3lbs more the the U/R.

It depends what you already have and how many miles you got.
If you are starting out bone stock, then I would suggest different things.

There isn't much point to make significant changes to the suspension without first improving the tires, because everything reacts through the tires.

Beyond that, everything then reacts through the frame. So a front strut tower is a good starting point.

Getting front camber and toe alignments dialed in does wonders for the steering response.

I agree with the theory of adjusting the camber and toe, but the maxima has independent rear suspension and also the ride height is too high if you are going to drive aggressively. Put a set of springs on (I used Eibach) shocks and struts (KYB AGX), and a rear sway bar to connect the rear end. It is like driving a totally different car. The UDR pulley adds about 8-10 hp and is really easy to install if you want that little extra something
