Every manufacture measures it differently. Some will take the inter-rib and measure it to the other inter-rib. Others might take the outer-rib to outer-rib. Vortech, Paxton, Eaton all do inter-rib to inter-rib. Thank you, From www.SuperchargersOnline.com

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.

There are four steps on how to measure pulley size. One of the step-by-step instructions is to diameter of driven pulley) times (revolutions of driven pulley) divided by (revolutions of driven pulley) equals (diameter of driver pulley).
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.
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.
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 pulley on the end of the crankshaft, where you find the harmonic balancer on your vehicle.
depending on the size of the supercharger.. 30% to 40%
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.
There are a couple of ways. Changing the pulley size to a smaller supercharger pulley will increase the speed of the supercharger, giving you more boost. You can also go with a larger crank pulley and it will do the same thing. Please keep in mind that when you do this you are adding more air into the engine so you will need to add more fuel. Getting it tuned afterwards will be a great idea. You can also do a thing called "S Porting." This is basically porting out the supercharger and slightly modifing it so that the air flows smoother. Also you can just get it custom tuned. By putting your car on a dyno and having them adjust the air/fuel mixture and timing curves it will result in better performance and more HP Thank you, From www.SuperchargersOnline.com
