All in yer head. strut bars are completely useless unless they are connected in a triangle to your firewall. That is proven.
Any factory car that uses a strut tower brace for chassis bracing will have it connected to the firewall. Old mustangs did this. MS3s do this as well.

Obviously it twists with the chassis, it has to if you put it in that position. That doesn't mean it braces the chassis tho. You need it to lay up against another solid side. Twisting it will break it too. In fact more so (probably) than putting direct pressure on it.
Don't get an underdrive pulley. Get a stock sized lightweight. Not worth the risk of undercharging your alternator. Besides, 85% of gains on underdrive pulleys comes from the weight reduction. 15% of 5hp is 0.75hp. Won't notice the diff
replace catalytic converter with hfc or test pipes. true dual exhaust. intake plenum spacer. cold air intake. uprev tune.
