I don't have a clutch either. I plan on going to get tuned on e85/flex fuel with the stock clutch, hopefully it holds. I DO plan on upgrading however. But if I was to stay on 93, I wouldn't be touching the clutch. It holds just fine.

As far as frequency of changing the oil, I don't see why that would effect anything. I mean the service is suppose to be every 30k, and I checked mine with like 10k on it and it was so low it didn't even hit the dipstick. So that should be something checked frequently anyways, regardless of the setup.

I do recommend the intercooler though, either way and no matter what gas you are going to run. Just makes for a way more efficient setup. Consistent power as well.

Can't comment on meth injection, no plans to be running that.
I buy Costco 92 octane gas as it's next door to my house and cheap, yet good gas. Someone told me at the mechanic shop that running a 70mm pulley without any of the other stuff like intercooler wouldn't work very well. I can't remember exactly what he said as to why.

I need to remind myself to check the charger's oil level since I haven't done that yet.
