Supercharger Compatibility

Hey all, I've been browsing the site for the past few hours, absorbing information Anyway, I didn't really find the answer to my question, so I figured i'd give posting a try Basically, i think im gonna pick up an intercooled supercharger from ati for my 89 350, and since ive never installed one of these before, i'm not sure exactly how it works.. basically, will the supercharger work with such modifications as ram air, throttle body airfoils (or even a 58mm throttle body), a power pully, etc.. would these mentioned modifications work in conjunction with the supercharger and increase efficiency at all, or does the supercharger replace these components all together? like i said, ive never done a supercharger before, and the online installation manuals aren't too helpful hehe.. anyway, sorry about the length here hehe but i'd greatly appreciate any comments and suggestions some of the more experienced users have.. thanks!

Mud,

The ATI kit is a direct bolt on for STOCK engines, From what i've experienced, you'll have to switch back to the stock pulley's to get the correct belt alignment or do some customizing to the spacers provided in the kit.
Any aftermarket ram-air kit, most likely will not work either, but the airfoil and larger throttle body will work just fine and should help the efficiency of the stock intake system.
