Default Thinking of powder coating Vortech Kit, intake mani and valve cover

My car is at the shop for a bunch of fun winter mod's. I was thinking of having the Vortech Supercharger powder coated along with the aftercooler, intake mani and valve cover all in black. If I was to do the SC, what kind of upgrades could I do while it's apart? Any links would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance! It's a V-3 self-lubed SC.

is anything wrong with it? Not really anything to upgrade unless you want to put ceramic bearings in to spin it faster or get a T trim upgrade from vortech.

Nothing wrong with it at all. I'm just curious about potential upgrades if the thing was to be taken apart anyways.

Just could upgrade the bearings if you plan to spin it faster.

I do plan on going to a 3.5" pulley once I acquire everything I need for Kpro. What about impeller upgrades? Are there any for the V-3 SCi?

You could send to vortech to get the t trim upgrade I bet.

You mean exchange t or have them upgrade it? I was hoping I could purchase parts and have the shop that will do the powder coating install them. They are a performance shop as well as body and powder coating. Maybe Vortech would sell me the parts for T-trim upgrade, I'll email em.

I emailed superchargerrebuild.com to see if they could powder coat along with the 62k rpm upgrade. We'll see what they say. Otherwise I'll probably order the upgrade kit from them and have the shop rebuild and powder coat it. I looked at Vortech's site and it seems there is no T-trim upgrade for a V-3 SCi.
