the underdrive pulley does appear to be a good solution - i'm watching the forums to see what people's long-term impressions of them are with respect to alternator operation; i've read that the battery light can come on at idle; ok for a race car, but i'm using mine as a daily driver/gt.

that's also an interesting idea of deleting the primary cats and using the secondary cats instead; if you get the secondary pipes for a previous year, they might even already come with the bungs? you mentioned CEL's; was that from the exhaust mods or the intake mods? i'm wondering how the engine management system would read across the secondary cats.

from everything i've seen, the best way to improve torque is with a 3.4 swap. such a swap apparently needs a better exhaust to really perform. so, to avoid redoing anything (and spending more $$$) i'm just looking at mods for my 3.2 that could eventually be reused with the 3.4. and if i put the $$$ into the swap, i would probably want to compliment it with a quality exhaust.

thanks all.
