I am a nut!

Guys,

Sorry to keep botherin y'all, but like i've said a million times, I have the V2 sitting in my living room and I am waiting for parts. ANYHOO, I was doing more research and came across this post by dashingmax:

IMHO, following parts at a minimum for Supercharged using 3.33" pulley

Kit itself. (Avalon or GR Racing)
Permacool Oil Cooler kit. (#771-10189 @ jegs.com)
Clutch (if manual), VB Mod (if auto).
3.33" pulley.
1 step colder plugs.
Hobbs Switch mod (always-on aux fuel pump).
Gauges:
EGT (electrical), BOOST (mechanical), Fuel Pressure (electrical). Don't get the mechanical fuel pressure gauge!!!!!

I have the stock 3.6" pulley on it, and would like to keep the 1 year warranty, since I am gonna lose my nissan one. I was thinking of changing my pulley all the way down to a 3.33" like BenBlanco. I was talking w/ Cultr7 and he said I should go down to the 3.125 and not have any problems. IMHO I think that 3.125 would be too much power for me to handle as an every day driver. Is there a big difference between the 3.33 (i.e. having the aux. fuel pump on all the time or having the Hobbs switch mod) or can I just keep the aux fuel pump as is, and let it decided when to come on. Also should I go to an 8:1 disk..... dang!

Also,

If I do have the aux fuel pump on always, how will this effect my daily MPG IF I was driving normal thru traffic. Will leaving the fuel pump on reduce the life of that pump?

Sorry for askin dumb questions

The only thing I've noticed is how much more gas I'm burning because of the SC (heavy foot). That's something I've learned to live with as an SC owner. As for the aux fuel pump being on all of the time I haven't noticed any further difference in MPG.

So what's the plan, 3.6" or smaller? I'm having problems lowering my power steering pump to remove the power steering belt off my Unorthodox underdrive pully so I can put the oem puley back on, this sucks.

I am in the process of buying a WS Y for my car, then an oil cooler, and then I am getting my ASP aluminum pulleys. G.D. this is getting TOO expensive!

To be honest, I MAY go down to the 3.33" but i didn't think it was that much of a difference between the 2. You really start to get thrown in the seat at the 3.125" one. Dang, I don't know. I should just get the 3.33"

I would like to ride in yours (if possible) b/c you'll have it all installed before I even have all my parts. You think we could arrange this????
