What do you think about this speed kit?

http://www.outmotoring.com/stage-1-speed-kit.html

I was thinking of getting it with:

DDMworks intake
Kingsborne wires
NGK plugs
Cravenspeed 17%pulley
and the added belt

Any thoughts?

Pretty typical of what most people do as preliminary mods...

Not sure what other thoughts you are looking for - I think your selections are good. Do NOT try to remove the pulley with some sort of standard puller...it won't work and will put you in a bad situation. Buy or borrow the right kind of puller for the r53 pulley
