I don't think the entire volant kit will work with a SC. Parts may work with it tho.
As for the pullies I am not sure. The SC comes with its own pully and I don't know if there are differant size belts. It may require finding the correct size belt at the parts store if you wanna run underdrive pullies.
Not trying to be a dink or anything but you should probably just give Jackson Racing an email and ask them it the 2 items will work with the SC. Tell them you have the parts installed and you are going to be purchasing a JRSC soon and you want to know if they will work with hte CS. You should get the best answer dirrectly from the source.

I spoke with a JR tech and he said to put the SC on 1st and add other parts later (of course). Well I don't have the money for that and don't really know if I'll want a SC after I've done the usual bolt-ons. I want to mod it for sure, but with parts that will work with (or enhance) a SC (if I go that route). Maybe it'll have enough pep (for me) without the SC? I don't want to add mods I'd have to remove if I use a SC. Modding isn't the best use of my money to begin with - it's just fun. But adding parts I'd have to remove later because I didn't plan well is just plain dumb.
With all the bolt ons you can get for the car (intake, exhaust, cam gears, underdrive gears) you will see some more pep in the car but nothing close to what FI will give you. I say you may see about a 15hp increase and that is most likely at the flywheel and not to the ground. I am not an expert in this field but I do know the the bolt ons (on a Zetec anyway) don't add up to too much power. The duratec (03-04 2.3L & all 05+) accept bolt ons a lot better.
Talking with a guy from powerworks (the SC I would go with if
I found 5 grand) told me that his SC is designed to work best with stock header and possibly a cat back system. He said that putting a header onto the motor afte rthe SC actually brought down total gains possible. So you may just want to put the bolt on money you have into the piggy bank and get the SC sooner than you plan to. The guy a JR is correct in that you should get the SC see what you have for power and than go from there for bolt ons. I am in a bit of a belima where I have a cat back right now and I want to completly chang the exhaust to the stock SVT exhaust from header back. I also want to do stage 2 cams with adjustable cam gears and FI from what I have been reading only likes up to stage 2 cams because of compression and such. But non of this is happening for me because I don't have the $1500 for exhaust cams and head.
If you want you can put the parts on (buy new or used) and than sell them down the road if you decide to go FI (SC or turbo).
You don't want a CAI with a supercharger. All you'll do is inhibit the flow of air into the s/c, thus reducing your power. If you want cooler air going into the s/c, cut a hole in your hood and add a hood scoop.
Think about it thos way; would you rather suck a milkshake through a regular-length straight McDonald's straw or through a 3-foot-long curly twisty straw?
