Evosport is advertising a special on their underdrive pulleys...this would be a good start in improving performance on your 430. Also, if you do a search on the subject it has been dyno proven. That being said, I've had my pulleys on my E430 for over 10 months now and it certainly the "best bang for the buck".
Also, I would be cautious when installing aftermarket intake systems not designed specifically for our E430 for Hp & Tq gains...I have read several members of the board doing so, however through my personal experiences with a few custom CAI & short ram air installs, I've had less than fair dyno results. Just recently, I did install a carbon canister airbox which seems to provide a snappier throttle response & has improved highway speeds, but more importantly that vicious V8 sound at full throttle
Good Luck
