I wouldnt spend the cash on the pullys or throttle body if you plan on going the SC route soon. Also I have heard mixed feelings with the throttle body as far as if it even is worth it on a mostly stock engine. I will those with the experience on that chime in.

If you are going to get a supercharging dont waste your money on the UDP's. BBK throttle body has been nothing but problems for quite a few of us S197'ers. Unless your in a high boost application the stock TB is just fine. If its going to be a long time before the s/c and you have the money go ahead with the UDP's but they will need to come off when the s/c is installed.

see I heard about the throttle body not being worth but I wanted to see if anyone else heard that but I heard different about the pulleys I dont know, but as far as the sc which one would be the best for the money and performance.

As far as the s/c goes there are a TON of factors you need to decide on before you decide. There have been countless posts on this topic. In my honest opinion I believe the certrifical s/c's (i.e. paxton, vortech, procharger) are a great option. For example my paxton novi 2200 kit from BRENSPEED is the best kit FOR THE MONEY. However it does not have the pull down in the lower rpms such as the whipple, saleen, and kenne bell do. They are a little more expensive though. This is a never ending topic its all up to your personal preference.

Give us some details on yourself. Daily driver, auto/manual, driving habits, and so on. That will help in the decision making. Try to search function at the top and browse around and see what you can find.

True, I was waiting for you to chime in howarmat. You are usually all over posts about people asking what s/c to pick.

Pulleys are good for some clean HP but the TB is a waste unless you have some sort of F.I.
