I am putting on the C.A. stage 3 on sunday. I was wondering what pulley puller most of you guys used to get the stock pulley off. Is it easier to pull the pulley with the supercharger on the motor or easier with it out of the engine bay? Any pointers you guys can offer would be great...Thanks

you definitly need to take out the supercharger(literally only takes 10 minutes for first timers). i used a gear puller i rented from pep boys, many others have had sucess with the pulley puller from zzp, found at www.zzpeformance.com .. zzp is a fantastic vendor, and you will have no issues with them, your product will arrive within a few days.
that being said, the pep boys route is much faster, and is ok if you know how far to press the pulley on. the zzp one is almost like pulley pulling for dummies (no offense) but you almost cant press it on too far.
i will link you to the "how-to" for supercharger, and pulley removal, upon request.

here, read this, then p.m. me with questions... i've done it a few times, for myself, and also for local members.

dont even bother to pull the pulley with the supercharger on....Thats asking for trouble. Don't half ass any modding procedure, do it right and reliable.

i used a press took like 2 seconds and then used a power steering pulley installer to put new one on
