Les, your "daily drivability" will suffer with all the mods you're talking. You figure about 35 hp for the pulley, about 25 for the intake, about 35 more for the plenums, and about 20 from an ECU tune. So you're talking about 115 more hp at the wheel. The car is rated at 350 hp at the crank, so with those mods you're talking approx. 490 hp at the crank.

That kind of change to the power of the car is definitely going to affect your driveability. It just depends on how much its going to bother you to be smoking tire at the drop of a hat. Since you're Puerto Rico, you don't have to worry about snow and ice. I'm betting you'd be fine. But it's a very subjective thing. I don't think anyone can guarantee you that you're going to like driving a ~500 hp car every. Personally, the idea sounds great to me.
