This all depends on what type of supercharger it is. If you have an Eaton supercharger it is possible that it might be a pressed on pulley. If this is the case then you will need a pulley puller. If the supercharger is a Vortech, Paxton, or ProCharger they all use key ways. So all you need to do is take the bolt off and the pulley might come off. Some times the pulley will not slide off so a pulley puller will work. Or you can heat up the shaft which will cause the pulley to expand and it will then slide right off. DO NOT use a screw driver or any force to pry it off. This can cause damage to the bearings.
Go to www.zzperformance.com and you will be able to rent a pulley puller do not use a regular pulley puller they. It is about 30 bucks to rent. It will take about an hour to do
A supercharger is controlled by its pulley size. The smaller the supercharger drive pulley is, the higher in boost pressure you will see. Now if you go with a larger crank pulley, this too will cause you to see more boost. So, in all honestly, the only way to really over boost your supercharger is when you mess around with the pulleys.
no you cannot intercool a neuspeed supercharger, a supercharger runs on a pulley not a pipe there is a way to cool them down but its pointless unless you have enough money to do so.
Yes! Thomas Knight at boosthead.com makes a supercharger for the LS. It's a real pulley driven unit.
A pulley on the end of the crankshaft, where you find the harmonic balancer on your vehicle.

Yes, but do not paint the groove where the belt runs. Use high heat paint.
These are pressed on pulleys so it is highly advised not to change out the pulley. Your safest bet is to purchase a whole nose cone that already has the pulley size that is needed. We have seen way too many nose drives ruin because people are attempting to use a pulley puller to take it off. Once it is off, you also need to repress it on.
You will need to remove the front engine cover, on your 1997 Pontiac Bonneville, in order to change the supercharger belt. Loosen the tensioner pulley to remove the belt.
Yes
You will need a supercharger pulley tool to do the job right so you dont risk damaging the shaft of the blower, companies such as zzperformance or intense racing have them available for purchase or just a one time rental http://www.zzperformance.com http://www.intense-racing.com
