Pulleys as well as cai are a good investment. They will help somewhat.

That of course only works for fuel economy if you can keep your foot out of that extra power all the time. I know I can't

My CAI did wonders for acceleration. It had no effect on my MPG. No improvement at all for me...except for performance.

lol well i guess that what the idea is, is that if you go by the same speeds and accelerations as before (aka keeping your foot on the pedal less than before to get the same outcome) you will save some gas

I find that my gas mileage varies from 15mpg to 25mpg depending on how I drive. You can still have some fun, but by not flooring it all the time, it does make a difference.
