What Should I Expect?
When im done with my power mods what should I expect the car to be capable of?
TRD SuperCharger
NST 9.5lb pulley
all other pulleys
MMW Header
HKS Hi-Power Axle Back
Light Weight Wheels with Sticky Tires (not a power mod I know)
Where abouts WHP/TQ/Quarter Mile wise whould I be sitting when im done?

If you spent the same amount on this setup and a turbo the cost to do turbo correctly with no issues would still be more. You still have to take into account buying a clutch and potentially tuning time. Plus gauges, turbo timer, and any of your other reliability related items.
I would go with a lightweight oem sized crank pulley. It really does make a huge difference. I'm not sure of performance gains but it certainly does spin faster. You will definately notice a difference in driving.

It definitely does make a difference...do you have a flywheel also? I have the lightweight crank and fidanza 9lb and my revs kick up a whole hell of a lot quicker now which=
No flywheel yet. i am hoping that ACT will come out with an 11 or 12 lb soon. I am not a big fan of fidanza or any of the companies that use two piece flywheels. Just something I have an issue with. Can't wait to see the difference from a new flywheel though.

why dont you like the 2 piece design?? I actually love the fact that it is servicable and I can buy a replacement center instead of buying a whole new flywheel once it gets heat scored up. the flywheel is definitely worth the money though on the supercharger...I can understand where your coming from Rythm when your putting down that much tq but on the supercharger I almost think its a necessity to have the flywheel
Coming from the dsm world. Fidanza flywheels have a chance of the friction surface cracking and blowing apart due to their design. Under high temperature, from racing especially, there have been instances where the expansion and contraction of the metal be it ever so slight has caused the surface to crack and break apart. So I am somewhat biased to chromoly. To each his own though. It has never personally happened to me with the fidanza's I have used, however I would rather not take the risk.
The only cars i have ever known of or heard of having the problem were used primarily for drag racing and were high horspower. No where near what any tc's I have seen are currently capable of. More than likely I would have no problem using one but I guess it's hard to shake the idea from my mind.
Well the completion date should be about mid Aug now, im getting a credit card for car mods. I still have another 2-3 weeks to wait on my MMW Header. As soon as I get the Header the S/C is going on at the same time. Im doing the header, the dealer is going to do the S/C.
Well The reason im going with CC is because I dont have one yet, and it's a good way to establish credit. Im not going to be putting the whole purchase on the card though, only about $2,000 of it...the rest will be cash. Besides, my only bills as of now would be my car/insurence.
