so im about to role over to 100,000 miles. I just ordered a smaller pulley for my supercharger. What should i do to ensure that the car keeps running well, i do oil changes every 3,000, but what else needs to be done. Anything special 100k tune up.
From Edmunds.com:
90k
Change Engine oil
Lubricate Chassis
Replace Oil filter
Inspect EGR system
Inspect Fuel tank, cap & lines
Replace Air filter
97.5k
Rotate Wheels & tires
Change Engine oil
Lubricate Chassis
Replace Oil filter
100k
Inspect Spark plug wires
Replace Spark plugs
My recommendations:
Drain/refill transmission
Coolant flush
Drop in a fresh buiolt engine, hehehehehe. But in all seriousness, do what rob said above^^^. and you might get compression tested and all that good serious testing done, to be on the safe side.

I forgot about that bit... since you now have a blower, a quick compression check wouldn't hurt.
I would make sure to use a synthetic oil also. Yes definately transmission flush and coolant change. I'm sure you've already replaced spark plugs also. So umm....I think Rob covered everything.

Alright sweet. Im already using synthetic oil... so check, check on the plugs i just got new ones with the sc, plus i just changed my coil packs because they were going out. So really all im looking at is transmission flush, and coolant change... oh and about a compression check, how much and were would you guys recommend i get that done.
Any reputable shop should be able to do the compression test for a lil bit of cash, they generally are not too expensive but its been years since I paid for one, I usually do my own.
how much would a compression tester/guage be?

$25-40, depending on where you pick one up.
