clutch, cam, valvetrain, blower: help!
I have a 99 ex with CAI, full exaust, eldelbrock header, random cat the whole bit. Im doing my drive train now to prep for the supercharger. Im thinking about getting an ACT clutch which comes with the organic street disc and the xtream pressure plate. It has plenty of holding compasity cause i don't plan on running over 8 lbs of boost. Oh and I plan on getting their new 8.9 lb cromoly flywheel with it. Ive looked into clutch and flywheel packages alot and this package seemed like a wise choice. What do you guys think? Suggestions? Oh and one more question. Im looking into getting a cranecams stage one cam with the titanium valve train components since my stock cam isn't really aggressive enough reap too many benefits from my current bolt ons. I talked to crane and they told me that the grind i wanted would compliment by supercharger, which i plan on purchasing along with a 68mm throttle body. Since money is tight with me do you think I should throw the blower in first, then save for the cam, valve train and throttlebody; or do it the opposite way and get the blower last? Thanx for the help

id say get the blower first cuz your stock engine is gonna be able to handle the 6 pounds of boost it puts out fine, then i would go with the valvetrain but definately upgrade your clutch, i think the most the s/c puts out is 6psi depending on the s/c, the ex engine should handle that safely....i have a EX too and run 8 pounds of boost from my turbo, it runs perfectly fine

The Jackson Racing SC runs 6psi stock, but with the pulley kit available from JR you can up it to 8psi. Your EX should take 6psi no sweat. I am planning on getting a JRSC when money is available, then a clutch (but not until mine wears out).
