**Finally getting blown**
I'll be ordering a Blacked out V3 Si A&A kit soon. After years of wanting a supercharger I'm finally ready to take the plunge. My car is a 03 Z06 basically stock with the exception of Corsa extreme exhaust. Car only has 21k miles. Is there anything that I should look into getting once the supercharger is installed? Should i upgrade the valve springs as well? What size pulley does everyone recommend? Would love to make close to 600 rwhp but would be happy with 550ish.

Are you installing it yourself or is Wes going to do it for you? Good luck with everything.

Clutch definitely, and tires. I doubt you will see anywhere near 600 to the wheels on a stock C5 Z, with an S trim. Probably low 500s. It will still obviously be a ridiculous difference.
I am running a T Trim @ 12 PSI peak, on pure 93 octane, which put down 640 WHP SAE, and it is a blast (went from long tubes, intake, and tune to this). I went with a Mcleod RST twin disk, mated to their aluminum flywheel, and the Tick Master cylinder (also replaced the slave cylinder with a new GM slave cylinder). For tires, I went with Toyo R888s (305 rears, 275 fronts) - they hook pretty well at this power level.

Melting Slicks
I'm far from an expert (unless you count breaking stuff) but if prop shaft couplers are original rubber the low miles are only half the formula on longevity, I think rubber will get weaker over time no matter what the miles, I saw mine today, only 3000 mi and 1 year old and they were twisted and warped and would have been a problem soon if trans didn't go first. So spinning the tires is probably better than hooking up solid until you are ready to spend a lot more money. Horsepower is addictive but torque is the devil!
Good luck
