Yup, just installed a larger crank pulley extension that was custom made by CT-Engineering. Now I'm boosting around 9.5-10lbs. I have to get a smaller blower pulley made by CT to boost 12psi. You'll have to do a slightly smaller than original size blower pulley and a larger crank pulley extension if you want to go beyond 10psi on the newer CT 1220 kits.
It's actually pretty good to help eliminate belt slippage.

I see... my goal is to hit over 400whp....would you say go 1220 oil fed or trade it in for 1200 and go from there?

You need a 1200, pretty much no question. A 1220 is not necessarily inferior...it is actually more efficient than the 1200 in lower boost ranges. A 1220 could very well get you there, but a 1200 will do it with lower boost. I don't think 400whp is within the capabilities of a SL, though...it'll spin too fast.
I actually don't know the exterior differences between the 1200 and 1220...I heard its just the impeller, but I don't know for sure. The SL is different enough that you really do need to trade it.

Yep thats my plan but no one can give me a price of how much more im goin to have to spend. Im spending 20,000 on the car plus need to trade in the blower... installed and tuned. Im on a pretty fixed income as well so just tryin to get my numbers together.
How much should it cost to have just the blower remover/ or installed????

Swapping the blower is actually not even difficult...but there's not many people I would trust to do the work.
IMHO, if you're going to have to pay someone every time you wrench the car, you should not be buying a FI S2K. This is not something for someone with a fixed income...you really should have an "oh sh1t" fund that's enough to buy something big.
