I'd say do a header then it's cam time ....

the pulleys will just under drive accessories and free up lost horse power in those items and not create new horsepower.

gatherer, he may already have the JDM 4-1 factory header... do you amid?? Cuz it is a euro car?? If so, keep that!

The pulley has nothing to do with the oil pump, the oil pump is "cam" driven on most motors, and that's a different cam than the one in the head... hard to explain. Anyways... check out what type of header you have, pic would be best for us... and reply.
