I like the one with going to a CAI you can feel the response is SOO much better.....or it pulls harder...

I remember putting a CAI into a 2ZZ-GE motor and it made that shit scream like a banshee when lift hit but i dont think it actually felt any different in terms of responsiveness.

But perhaps its my inexperienced butt-dyno at the time not knowing how to identify the changing air/fuel ratio occuring in real time.

I canceled Grimspeed Lightweight pulley, thank you. Maybe with that money I would buy shifter bushing...

I had a Perrin that I gave away to someone on here. I had it on/off a few times trying to discern a difference and couldn't

I'd go with the weighted shift knob.

I can't possibly imagine how.
But I've heard great things about them on this forum.

Consider doing the front retainer bushing while you are in there. Doing both front and rear makes a difference, just the rear I personally couldn't feel a big difference with the OEM shifter. It was more noticeable with a aftermarket shifter as the bushing at the base where it connects was much stiffer, moving the slop to the bushings on the shift carrier it self.
Short shifter wasn't worth it, raises shift effort and all combined made casual shifting and skipping gears finicky at times.

I like my Perrin rear shifter bushing. I remember it feeling more precise than the OEM one I took out.
