Here a question/thoughts for those of you that jumped from the 75mm pulley to the 70mm pulley.
If I make the jump to the 70mm, sounds like I will need:
-Stronger clutch installed (like act streetlight flywheel and street clutch)
-Intercooler
-70mm pully
-I may also do a meth injection
-I don't want to bother with e85 yet
This means I'll be spending around $2.5k without meth (parts and labor [intercooler 1200, clutch/flywheel $566, clutch install $600, retune $200]) and over $3.5k with meth.

With all that, is the supercharger or engine expected to have a shorter lifespan? I don't want to have the car fail on me in a few years because I overstressed the charger or engine. I want this car to last. I do a few track days a year. I have most all of the less expensive supporting mods like oil cooler as you'll see in my build thread.

Would I need to change the supercharger oil more frequently that recommended by innovate?

Depending on my tax return I may get some or all of this stuff. My guess without looking at taxes is probably I'll only be able to get the intercooler.
