Ive only heard good things about Science of Speed when it comes to Superchargers.
You may have to change your clutch, depending on how much boost you will be running. If you run the basic pulley you will be making about 6psi and can make around 190rwhp and you wont need to change anything on your car.
but in all, SOS is one of the top 3 SC kits out there.

That's the oil return that goes to the pan. There were some issues with the self lube units, I would go oil return to pan. Many turbo guys will tell you to not use the oil drain bolt fitting that SOS supplies to route your oil return to. They usually recommend running the oil return to a new tapped or welded bung that's a little higher in the oil pan or on the timing chain cover. However, countless people use the oil return fittings supplied by CT and SOS without issues.

Lets say I go with SOS. Oil feed from pan or go with self lube. Advantage and disadvantage of both.

I say oil feed from pan. Reason people have had issues running the SL system also the SL I have heard under high G's starves for Oil and can damage the Supercharger.

I would say it is true for I know of several people that have lost there blower for oil starvation. Not saying they all are bad but they are out there. Also if you are starving the motor then a larger oil pan would help with that.

Thats's all well and good for you
But mine (also @ 320 rwhp) slipped like crazy when driving in vtec, it was very annoying. My SPEC Stage 3+ has never slipped once.

I don't see why anyone would get the hks supercharger kit. Unless I am missing something it seems to be a terrible deal for terrible gains.
More expensive than most, lowest max power of any sc kit. Looks ugly as well I think.
I'd definitely get the SOS kit with the 1200 blower.

Ok about to pull the trigger in the SOS sc. But my question is. Can use the bigger heat exchanger injunction with the password jdm air induction system? And should I go with the bigger radiator? It's not a track car.

No need for a new radiator unless your stock one is leaking. Not sure about the Password jdm air induction, but you could probably make it work. And YES on the bigger heat exchanger. That will help!

Do you mean the PasswordJDM air intake or the snorkel? The SOS kit comes with a whole new intake setup. You won't be able to use the PWJDM intake or snorkel system at all. There are a few people who have created custom cold air intakes for their SOS kits; I would start by researching those (user 99SH comes to mind).
