Personally I’d be reluctant to spend money trying to squeeze more power out of a car with the thick end of 200k miles on it.

Iv given them a miss after the quote they gave me to replace the sc snout bearings and coupler on my 4.2 rrs. As for the pulley upgrade some say it's worth it some say not.

You need to remove the snout from the supercharger to change the pulley in a press so worth doing the bearings in that and the coupling (which at 180k miles is probably worn out anyway). When the snout is off the charger you can check to a certain extent whether the bearings in the main casing have play in them, but I think they're pretty robust.

Or you could order a refurbished snout from Powerhouse with a new shaft and bearings and with or without the "upgraded" pulley. After you have done the job send back the old snout.
