Default Supercharger Pulley Upgrade

Hi...

Would like to hear from anyone who has done this.

1. How difficult a job?

2. Noticeable enough of an improvement in HP?

3. waste of time and money?

Thanks...

Ernie

Did the 2.5lb pulley/exhaust combo from Mina gallery... Like Randy, had to end up cutting it off, bit went on like butter. I notice LOTS of mid range power, but not as much low end. Worth it.
??? absolutely!!!

BTW: What oil are you guys using?
I have an 09 S/C and I believe I have the regular dipstick and can change the oil easily.

For those of you who went to dealer how much do you pay for an oil change?
