^^ He bought it used so I doubt warranty is an issue. The '05 was only 3 years 36K miles.
You can talk to some guys on the forums here and have them flash the PCM. The only odd thing you will need is a pulley puller designed to work with an Eaton supercharger. I believe Billet Flow rents them or talk to 06blackG85ss. I believe he has HP Tuners and a pulley puller. He has done a lot of other cars.
The cheapest route for an upgrade is to order Lucas 42.5# injectors, injector wiring harness, modular pulley system and get a custom tune. (most of the "mail order" tunes blow...*cough*INTENSE*cough* Most people in AZ use ZZP as their supplier and have had no complaints. Feel free to browse the supporting vendor index and compare prices.

he doesnt have a computer lol so im doing the searches for him he doesnt want to have to much hp where it brakes axles and all so far i found out pretty much all i need to know except
the GM program i'm sure it's a very safe map correct? and a pro tuner could possibly get more power? i guess 250whp is the limit to where this car can handle well keep it very reliable that is whats the limit? 280? 300? i'm sure a good responsible driver can run 300whp with no issues.
So how do i get the PCM programmed if we are installing the part's are self? or does GM need to do this? I'm going to check the car out more tomorrow and measure the pulley for all i know it could be stage 2 i felt like more then 200whp it felt faster then my LT1 Z28 comaro.

He prob doesnt have stage 2, and the SS/sc comes stock with over 200hp to the wheels, so thats prob why you felt like that.
IMO, i feel with the stock blower on pump gas, nothing less than a 2.7" pulley should be run if you want longetivity. if you switch to a more efficient compressor than more than 300hp can be had reliably. but for the m62, taking daily driver and longetivity into account, i dont see anything wrong with 275hp on a safe tune
