Default Vortech Supercharing and ?

I am about to purchase a Vortech Supercharger and I will have it professionally installed during the Christmas Holiday. I asked the Performance Shop owner to make recommendation since he does track a Civic with great success. I have all the experts hear on this forum, but it can be confusing to the novice.

Groundrules: Budget $1000 over what the Supercharging/install is costing me. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated

General Information:
First: I drive the S about 250-300 miles per week in good weather only.
Second: Current mods are Spugen dual Exhaust, AEM V2 Intake, 18" Volk Wheels
Third: I will run anything I think is competitive with my S and Cars that should kick its Ass.
Fourth: I like track time and autocrossing. Two - Three times a year.

Thanks for Any Help

Probably some 4.57 final drive gears. These should compliment your SC nicely with power down low while the SC takes over up top

This alone might take up most of your $1000 but it should truly be worth it.

Buy a clutch, you'll need it. Save your $ for a new diff. you'll need it later.

Yep, my stock clutch slips a lot above 8000 rpm since I went FI.
