okay i have a Q for you guys with the X-chargers.

Are all blower pulleys universal? I know the X-charger comes with an optional 8psi pulley, but could i swap it out for more boost? like with a 2.50" pulley?

The standard pulley on a X is 3" which will give you 6psi, there is also a 2.8" which will get you to about 9 to 10. You can get a 2.6 that will bring you to about 12psi but you will need cooling via water injection with the wet-x kit.

If you want high boost you should go with a centri or turbo with cooling.

If you can rate installing a supercharger w/ intercooler on a 1 to 10 difficulty, 10 being the highest, what would it be?
