9000ish miles and I learned to drive on it. its slips when i shift hard into second from 7000 in first. anyone think installing a clutch in a drive way is a good idea I kinda know what i'm doing and my dad is pretty mechanical and he'd help me. I've heard clutch installs costing $6-700 dolllars

I vote for cooling, not sure which one, they all seem to work well. I haven't put my water/meth kit on yet so I can't give any opinions on that either. But if your clutch isn't too bad, then I would go with cooling.

Personally, I would go with the dual pass end plate, and maybe another heat exchanger. I've heard that when your on that size pulley the s/c makes a lot of heat, so you might want to cool the intake charge...
Clutch is also something that you need to look into I would think
I am by no means an expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt

yeah, but, i may be wrong here, but cant high intake temps be a cause of detonation? Clutch is replaceable, but if you fry something because of heat, you're screwed.
again, i may be wrong, i am on the learning curve

Good to know that I am not totally wrong 
These forums are such a great learning environment.
I guess I'll have to change my vote, go for the clutch, seems like a heavy majority

I was about to put clutch into the poll but thought how good is making power to the ground when the axles will come into question.
With your mods I say axles.
