Yeah I've noticed that for the supercharger cost you can go turbo and have better results.

I have the same setup minus the header, and it gave me 31 WHP over a stock supercharger setup.

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.

Lose the extra pulleys (besides the 9.5 psi one) and the headers, get a downpipe and midpipe, have the stock headers and downpipe swain coated, and you'll see some good results.

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.

Well I already have a MMW Header on its way, and with the S/C being factory waranteed. My next car/truck will most likely be Turbo, After the tC im thinking maybe STi or DuraMax. For the tC im going with the TRD S/C for sure though...ive been putting it off because I wanted to buy other things first, but it's now moved its way up to the top of the list for priorities.

nice....another person with the CR lite pulley...I thought I was the only one
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= for the blower

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.

good to know...never heard of them having that problem before, but then again, never owned any DSM's.

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.

yea, once you get this image of somethings quality/durability in your mind you cant shake what you think of the product. Untill they improve upon their design anways.

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.
