For example - I have a power goal in mind and had been considering pulleys and a little exhaust and intake mods' for several more pounds of boost. Now - with your project - I'm thinking it might be worth looking into better heads. I've been wanting to see some MAST stuff, and am very interested in these particular models and their splayed valve model. If I can go with something like these, and maybe a smaller upper, I might be able to keep the stealth factor and keep the smog police at bay. If I keep the boost lower, my IATs will be better, and I can just have a more efficient package.
The factory 1.9L blower is plenty capable as ADM, Hennessey, Livernois, Aspire Performance Tuning and others have already proven. Plenty of CTS-V owners that have been running 800hp on the stock blower for several years. Unless you're wanting well over that, or you're building a top speed queen, there's no need to change the stock blower. The fuel system should be more of a concern and focus than the blower.
