So this is my first car that's boosted. I have been around cars all my life and I know quiet a bit. In the aspect of supercharging is there anything special that I should or not do? I traded my sport balt for an 07 ss supercharged. This will be my dd so I'm staying moderate on mods

As my ideas for mods are:
Zzp stage 2;
3 inch pulley and 42 lb injectors
Shortly header
Flowmaster muffler
Wideband

I believe that's all I can think of. Would I need to run meth on a dd? An if there's anything I'm missing let me know. I'm also cleaning the supercharger once its warm

Whats your plan for 'cleaning' the supercharger?

The dos and donts are generally to change it out for a turbo haha.

As for the header which brand are you getting? I had bad leaks with two badmabs.
The real things to switch are the downpipe and then theres a kink in the pipe right before the muffler. If youre looking for gains id swap the downpipe and maybe get some straight pipe welded in place of the afformentioned section before the muffler. Zzp makes good exhaust components for the price.

As for cleaning the supercharger, take apart, check snout bearing etc, fresh oil, clean rotors and clean the tb while its apart. Can't afford a turbo swap. Header I was thinking zzp, was wanting to leave the down pipe stock, I had eBay long tubes on my sport, sounded great but I was annoyed by the cel

no need to take apart the blower if its not broke dont fix it

Not even to change the supercharger oil?

The blower oil is serviced for the life of the unit if it rotates smoothly no need to fix what is not broken

Ahhh ok thanks for the info, these things is where I become a noob

Hey riceburner, did you tune your car or did you have someone else tune it?

Update: had a thrush welded muffler installed. Sounds so much quiter. I cleaned the throttle body. Now looking for a shift knob, triplegauge pod,wideband and interceptor.

So I have 300 available for parts. Not sure about what I want to do first. What do you guys think?

save up and buy a 2.8, 60s, and a wideband and get it tuned after installing all of it. should end up around 700-1k total all said and done. can even be cheaper if you can pick up used parts

That's not too bad price wise. How's Tue power on a 2.8 pulley? And I didn't want to go to small for a daily I wanted to get some decent mpg. I'm looking for wideband and such

the price will be the same no matter what size you go with, injectors or pulley. i do about 50/50 city/rural driving and i go wide open throttle nearly every time i have to accelerate. i manage 20-22 mpg this way. not great, but i really dont care much about mileage.

im on a 2.8 and 60s and it is my daily. but, if you just want a 3.0 and 42s, theres no reason you shouldnt go that route. you can always upgrade later, and 42s are easier to deal with and more forgiving on throttle changes than 60s. 60s dont idle the best and can be a bit bumpy cruising through parking lots in 1st gear. just something to keep in mind, but its definitely manageable.

That's good information thanks southal, I don't like that the car can be jumpy the way it is. I cleaned the tb. I currently get about 25 which isn't bad, I do a few wot runs my self Chicago traffic is irritating. I'm watching for parts but not much has come up lately

Update: I have a ottp oversized pulley tensioner and a 3" zzp pulley and hub on the way. Still looking for a few things but it's a good start.

I have finally got my stage kit pieced together. Got my Siemens 43lbs injectors and the other stuff I've mentioned before. I've wideband installed for a few months now. I know what the car likes to run stock.
