I'm not sure what's best for a supercharged car....

For N/A, pmas 75mm or c&l 76mm are good quality and cheaper than some others. As for an intake, look on ebay or the classifieds and find a good used TFS track heat. You'll want the higher rpm range w/ the blower.

I will probably get crap for this, but I prefer the GT40 upper and lower intake. My car makes tons of power with it. Its old tech but tried and true. With the stock short block and a plethara of other mods N.A. the car dynoed at 378rwhp. Again I have lots of other mods, but the intake still performs and I think the single tube runners look cool. Kind of expensive though compared to some of the knock offs I've seen. I have also had pretty good luck with Pro-M Meters. A 75 is really all you would need... Personaly I think C&L is crap, but some how people are getting them to work.

I assume you mean Aluminum Drive shaft... cams are steal. You should install the pulleys. I would plan on adding a larger fuel pump for the blower along with a adjustable fuel preassure regulator for tunability once you add the blower. I am sure there are tons of smaller things I cant remember off-hand.

There's nothing wrong w/ the GT40 (great intake), but if you don't already have one, you can acquire a track heat (new or used) for cheaper.

champ, I got my Pro-M (PMAS) 75mm from jdsperformance.com in January for $159 shipped.
