Default Head unit and changes in cubes

I am pretty much a FI newbie, but have been thinking about supercharging someday. Question I have is, if I buy a supercharger for the stock displacement, then someday up the displacement to say 427, do I need a different head unit, or couldn't I just change pulley size?

Reason I ask is I thought I could just change pulley size, but have seen a few people selling their old stuff because their displacement is bigger and they want/need? to get a different head unit.

Thanks for your help.

Depends on how much power you want to make. If it's something little like a P1SC chances are it is going to be too small to make more than 6 or 7 pounds of boost pullied to the absolute max. Still going to make around the same amount of total horsepower, it's just that the larger motor will make a lot more torque, a lot more power under the curve, and do it at a much lower boost pressure.

So I would want to get the bigger blower right off? But would that be too much for the stock 346?

Go with the D1SC. It works great on stock and larger motors.
