Exclamation Pulley's + Squeaking + Surpises (kinda long)

So, I set up a tune and pulley upgrade for saturday with a local tuner (gearheads); before i noticed everything tonight.

A little background: just got my car a week ago, squeaked when i picked it up, squeak is getting a little worse, noticed (today) every idler pulley is not good looking, noticed (today) i have a metco lower on it.

I'm, obviously, guessing the squeaking is from the idler pulleys or tensioner. So, i read a little over at SVTPerformance and decided i might as well swap all of the idler pulleys, along with a smaller upper, when im getting it tuned...

What i didn't expect to notice when i was messing around with the belt was the Metco Lower Bracket! I'm putting a 2.76 billetflow supercharger pulley on, 4 pc B.F. idlers and most likely a new belt; but is a 2#--10# lower over doing it? After more research I've determined, currently, it has a stock supercharger pulley.

so would that be too much boost? I don't race but i enjoy getting on it occasionally. I've looked and all i have is CAI, Metco Lower, BBK shorties and flowmaster cat-back.

I've already changed and flushed thermostat/coolant and engine oil. Plugs, Fuel Filter and Supercharger oil are on my to-do list. It doesn't seem to feel like it needs those things its just to make me feel better. Shocks/stuts, air filter, tires, brake pads are all brand new...

thanks in advance
