What is a recommendation for a minimal upgrade on the supercharger pulley? I really don't want to do a lot of mods but maybe looking for a small performance upgrade, I already have an Airaid CAI on it along with a Corsa exhaust.

As Karch said you're going to need injectors. Since you need them anyway, take a look into the future and see what other mods you will need. You don't want to buy injectors multiple times if you add mods in the future. That doesn't mean you need to buy and install everything at once. That said I'd recommend the Griptec 2.45 upper. That pulley, an Airaid intake, catch can, 850 injectors and an upgraded HX were my first mods. Of course, any change in air flow or fuel flow requires a tune.

I will need to spend more time doing research on this car. All my previous cars (and there were many) were late 60s early 70s muscle car restorations, this is my first newer performance/muscle car. Been a automotive/heavy truck mechanic for 35 years but a very serious recent motorcycle accident has ended any serious wrenching so trying to keep the mods as simple as possible.

Course you’ll probably want to look into cooling mods as well if your spinning the blower faster and reinforcement of the brick….

The 850s will work well with the stock fuel system pumps, as previously stated, you'll still need to get a tune.

Just make sure you are satisfied and committed, the rabbit hole is an alluring temptation many have fallen prey, never to be heard from again...

I have been happy with the Lingenfelter LSA Supercharger Pulley Kit (2.55), 160 degree thermostat, resized injectors (950 by Injector Connection Service), a Moroso catch can, and a K&N CAI as my first set of mods. I also changed out the plug wires (Hinson LSx) and plugs (NGK TR71X) at the same time. And as others have stated, this required a performance tune.

You're being awfully nice to the Canadian here by just coughing up the info instead of telling him how to use the search function. 🤭
