pulley or short shifter??

I can't decide what mode I have to do first.
Should I get the pulley first or short shifter??

Is it a good idea for me to get AP pulley + greddy water/alternator pulley?
or should I just get AP pulley? if it doesn't make anything different, I will just get AP pulley.

Please help me to decide what to get
thx

Get the short shift and save for other noticeable mods like a lighter flywheel or AccessPort.

I would say short shifter. The pulleys will not had any hp and your a/c will not be as cold.

oh, but when I searched, AP pulley will gain 6hp or sth.
I also watched the video too.

I have the AP pulley.
If there are any gains, it isn't noticeable.
Like I said, save your money for more enjoyable mods.

Short shifter, for sure. Day and Night difference. Unless you are a 98 lb waif, then you won't like it.

Try to find a **** that has the same weight of the stock one. Mazdaspeed makes one, so do several other japanese manufacturer. It is a matter of balance and precision
