underdrive pullies and TB will give you about 30 hp so they say. It is very easy to do your self. You should not pay anyone.

30 HP from just pulleys and a TB? Not on a basically stock motor! The pulleys will give like maybe 8 to 10 if your lucky. A TB will maybe give a few HP, but the air flow is still going to be restricted with once the air hits the smaller inlet port on the intake.

Get a C&L Mass Air Sensor. Bolts on in less than 30 minutes. Good for 10 - 15 HP. I have one and swear by it.
