Installing Magnuson 2650 on ZL1 soon, thoughts?

I'll be installing the Magnuson 2650 on my car soon, so I thought I'd reach out for any words of wisdom anyone might have to offer.

Here is what I've purchased so far:
- Magnuson 2650 Supercharger (with Fit) Kit 90mm pulley 103mm snout
- Nick Williams 103mm Billet Throttle Body
- Rotofab Big Gulp 5" Cold Air Intake System (Oiled Filter)
- DSX Auxiliary Fuel Pump Kit (w/ drill bit and tap)
- Primary cat delete (keeping stock exhaust manifolds, don't want headers)
- LT5 AC Delco spark plugs
- New AC Delco plug wires (stock LT4 wires)
- GM valve covers (plan is to modify new covers for coil fitment and have powder coated black)
- Mighty Mouse Catch Can (Mild)

Other modifications (some installed, some still in box):
- Mishimoto performance auxiliary radiators
- ADM Performance high-capacity heat exchanger
- APR Performance wing, air dam, splitter, and canards
- BC Forged wheels in stock ZL1 1LE size
- FEA Suspension
- BMR rear trailing arms (single adjustable, lower and upper)
- BMR rear toe rods (double adjustable)
- Ferodo DS1.11 pads (front and rear)
- Castrol SRF
- Racing Brake stainless brake pistons with high-temp seals.

Other notes:
- My car is used exclusively for road course
- 93 octane pump gas (no interest in running a flex-fuel setup)


I have no idea if the 90mm pulley is right for a road course car. I figured if I started running out of fuel, have too much heat, etc. I'd move to a larger pulley to lower the boost. Anyone have any insight here?

Does anyone have a HP Tuners tune file Magnuson offers with any LT4 2650 kit? I fully understand it's not what I need for my setup, but I would like to reference it. Unfortunately, it was not available at the time I bought my 2650. I plan to have the car professionally tuned, but since I'm somewhat familiar with tuning from the LT4 I put in the SS, I plan to be fully involved in the process.

I'm not 100% sure about the Mighty Mouse catch can. I bought it for extra ventilation to hopefully avoid blowing engine seals. Anyone running one of these on a road course car? Does it fill up quick? The last thing I want is an engine bay fire.

Other thoughts?
