Finally got it in.
Finished up the install of the SC this last Saturday.
I can't believe how hard this thing pulls and I'm only running the stock pulley. The additional torque is all over the powerband. I agree with what others have said. It is like dropping a larger motor into the car. It's so much fun to drive
Traction is really a problem now but we all know the stock tires suck already. 
My only issue is that I've got a harmonic around 2,900 - 3,500 RPM. I've got an appointment w/ Comptech on the 10th so they can check it out then. Other than that, the install was clean and fired right up with no issues.
I'll be dropping in the Catback Exhaust this weekend and the Toyo T1S's soon thereafter.

I'll get it Dyno'ed on the 10th. I hope I'm 300WHP but time will tell. The SC can be picked up for less than $4K. In my opinion, it's well worth it.

Stock pulley should put you around 290 whp... HBP would bump that closer to 320.
Congrats on the install, looks great. Definitely get the exhaust. The sound is crazy.

I also highly reccomend you get the gauges to monitor what is going on. Many people have had their FPR fail causing a lean condition that could cause damage after extended use.
I have the part numbers for the gauges I purchased if you'd like. They match the silver face of the stock gauges quite well. I'd also reccomend the Mugen Cooling modifications as well. Even with the added heat from the S/C my temp gauge is one bar lower than before the S/C was installed.

How much did the gauges and pods run you? Did you go with Boost and Fuel Pressure?
The exhaust is sitting in the garage. Can't wait to see how it sounds with them on.

Drop an H22 and install a turbo like Insyone. You won't be dissapointed.

Thanks for the replys everyone. I look forward to driving this beast whenever I can.
For some reason, the SC has messed up my gas gauge. It seems to be dropping a lot quicker than before the install

I would agree with Scalbert. This is probably easier than the header install but more detailed with more steps. Everything is very well laid out and fits like a glove.
