Default What should I NOT do if planning supercharger...

I know I shouldn't get pullies if I am planning on a supercharger anytime soon (I have the funds, I'm just indecisive). What else? t/b, and plenum...CAI? And I'm not sure whether I am going saleen or procharger yet...With the saleen intake manifold, I think you can get a t/b, but not plenum? And with a procharger you can get both, but not a N/A CAI? I'm a little confused on this, but basically I don't want to purchase parts that will be useless to me in a few months...

Your right either way don't get a CAI but if you go procharger you can get TB and UP.

yea just get a filter and stick that on your stock intake. and if you end up getting the procharger get the tb and plenem at the same time... just put money away for it now just in case.

+1 to every other post. go straight for the blower, and skip all the rest. i'm on a stock throttle body and plenum, and have absolutely no desire to change them since installing my procharger. if supercharging is for SURE in your future, i wouldnt even waste my money on a good filter. you'll probably get one with your supercharger kit anyway, and if not, you can worry about it then. i know that a lot of aftermarket filters are way too big to be used with my intercooled procharger setup, so it would've been a 100% loss for me...

i was always wondering how would UDP interfere with the blower? is the reduced water pump speed a problem then?

If you get a saleen blower, you dont need a plenum; it kinda sits right on the heads.

The crank pulley is smaller and it ends making little or no boost. If it does make some, both pulleys need to be smaller, which means less surface area on the pulleys, which in turn means more chance of slipping.
