porting the stock charger

If you ever want to see 500RWHP on the Eaton without resorting to juice this is the only way to do it. Cobra's already running an upper & lower pulley can pick up as much as 50 RWHP/RWTQ with the stage 3 porting. If you are going to do it go straight to Stiegemeier (http://www.stiegemeier.com/index1.html). They've ported over 1200 03/04 Eaton's already. They'll port your stock throttle body and inlet too. I plan on having my chit ported this spring and I'm going to see how much HP/TQ I can get just from the stock pulley.
For now I suggest you get your CAI, shifter, and exhaust. Those three mods bump up the fun factor quite a bit.
Then think about throwing on a pulley and getting a handheld tuner + custom tune. That performance jump right there will be very noticeable!
Keep in mind that with every step up in performance there are other supporting areas that will need to be upgraded too. Cooling and fuel being two big ones. If you add a lower pulley and a full port job to this combo your motor will get heat soaked pretty quickly. You'll need a bigger HE and possibly a bigger reservoir. A small upper + lower + port job = bigger injectors/pumps and/or a BAP to be safe. Most Cobra's run out of fuel somewhere between 500-550 RWHP on the stock fuel system and a few as early as 490.
Just remember... baby steps man, baby steps... Enjoy your horsepower fix in small incremental doses, it lasts longer that way! If you just jump from stock straight to 500RWHP you're missin' out on a lot of the fun.

UM....I am actually trying to remove my blower as we speak. I tried just pulling the supercharger....not the intercooler.
It is hanging on something inside. Any ideas?
Do I need to take the intercooler off too?
