You're going to get this a lot, so I might as well start:

There's a link on the upper right hand corner called "search", just click on it, and type in some keyword into the search criteria and read up. There's too much to say, honestly.

FYI, cold air intake? LOL, don't bother.

Also, here's a good place to start:

another place to do it is to click on my company's logo and go look at the engine section (it's the only completely finished portion ) and it has a lot of descriptions.

I do have some new input for the Supercharger + other mods: It appears that the SC completely overshaddows any other modifications. I just Dyno-ed my car last week... I have 277hp and 174 ft-lbs at the rear wheels. I was a little disappointed because I expected maybe ~20hp more due to a bored TB, extrude/honed intake manifold, Mugen headers, BYS straight pipe, Comptech exhaust, custom cold-air-intake with two filters, and Mugen ECU... basically, my Dyno showed 15hp less than SCS2K who has the SC only... so my thousands of dollars spent on additional mods gave either 0 hp or a few less.

Given the differences in SCS2K's dyno and environmental conditions and mine, our Dyno's could be taken as the same... or I might have a few HP less.

Bottom line? If you get the SC, invest in nothing else (exept for an exhaust for the sound)...

Shaner did you try to dyno without the Mugen ECU? Since the Mugen's design intent was for NA. I am curious if the Mugen settings are impeding your timing or fuel delivery in some way. Of course just a speculation on my part but I would think it would be worth investigating. What was the outside temps like? What kind of dyno was it?
