Well it is with great sadness I must report that I have run out of time on my time off and didn't get finished this time.
Must go back to work now so bike will sit there for a while. Will be a long wait until that nervous first start!
Really disappointed as I'd paid expedite fees on pistons and all to get them here on time. Going to lose out on a month or 2 of test & tune and launch practice now
But... here is a 2.5L Supercharged Carpenter Rocket III Stroker;
This was enormous undertaking in a short amount of time. Without you doing what you've done you wouldn't be where you are. My way of thinking is this allows you more time to work through the bugs that always come up. Congratulations for reaching this point.Well it is with great sadness I must report that I have run out of time on my time off and didn't get finished this time.

Got another few days off work so back in theatre with this monster.
100mm pulley
Check pulleys run true
Some throttle assembly work.. injectors more than double stock ones
MAP tubes secured for boost with crimped ear clips.
2nd set of vac nipples plumbed up for the BOV.
And view from the other side

What kind of boost are you expecting with that combo?
A 4 inch blower drive pulley sound a bit large.

It's hard to tell, only solid way to find out is to do it I think.
9000rpm x 100mm drive pulley / 85mm supercharger pulley × 9.49 supercharger ratio = 100,482 rpm on the charger with zero belt slip. 100,00rpm is the limit for the charger so it will make max boost that this engine config will make.
I'll be happy with 14-15 psi, anything more than that is a bonus.
Ideally I want the max the fuel can take without retarding ignition back to the stone age.

Ah, ok, my bad. I was thinking along the lines of a 7,000 RPM limit. 9,000 will spin the centrifigal that much faster and achieve a higher boost level than I was thinking.

More time consuming work but getting there.
Doing any work on this bike is an ordeal.
It is not like a stock bike which is easy work on (usually), it's got so much stuff on it now, packed so tight, between extra air oil and hydraulic plumbing and various hardware and electronics, it's all layered. Doing one thing means having to remove or relocate other things.
Priming charger oil lines with the aid of compressed air
Bleeding hydraulic clutch
Adapting the clutch switch for the hydraulic MC

If you are looking to save weight, take off the BLV with tweeter and place it in the bin, or sell it to some one you hate.
