this is a tough question if you ask me...... Last year I installed pullies and delete plates and felt a good increase in power. I say "good increase" because I think too many people are looking for neck-snapping acceleration out of these mods and you're not going to get that from anything! (well, except for a blower)
This winter I installed a driveshaft and although the car definetely revs faster I'm not sure if it "felt" any faster or not.... Don't misinterpret what I'm saying, I think it's a worth-while mod but again don't expect mind blowing differences.
At the end of the day, some people have had vibration issues depending on what brand of shaft is installed; if I was a buyer again, based on that consumer info, I would likely do the pullies and delete plates first.

I had heard this rumor too but find it hard to believe since they both use the same factory gaskets around each port- even if they are bigger, it can't be by much and the factory plates are the same size openings as the factory manifold, so even having larger plate openings would not be beneficial.
