Default AEM EMS with a Supercharger

After thinking about different options, I think I am going to stick with my Vortech Supercharger. I want to upgrade some things without spending tons of money, so the AEM EMS came into mind. If I added it, what kind of increases will I see providing that I get a good tune? Also, what is the largest pulley/psi I could run without getting any internal work done?

You want to run a smaller pulley for more psi. You can run up to 11 psi safely as long as you get it tuned right.

Wow I have been doing lots of research lately about s/c and saw that 9 psi was pushing it with stock internals. You can do 11 as long as you get it tuned very good?

if you can do 18psi with a turbo on the stock bottom, only mod is the headgasket.... then what make you think that you can't do it with a supercharger?? other then the fact that the max psi on a supercharger for our cars is like umm 15psi i think....

I consider a head gasket some internal mods since your are taking the engine apart to do. If your going that far you might as well not cheap out and just get lower compression pistons instead. This guy mentioned cheap mods. The higher the psi the more you risk. A good tune is essential.

Im not sure if sideways is running stock block. He has the most hp ive seen so far.
