Lol, I believe Jerry (lji372) still makes the extended brackets.

Hey Bill, that black snout looks familiar.
Diamond Pistons - (Top ring is set 0.325" down) - 0.010 over - Comes with Rings and pins - What compression ratio to choose?
Oliver I Beam Rods
Manley Forged Crank
If I go higher than the OEM 10.1:1, I will be able to increase HP. Stay at 10 lb of Trilogy boost. The block is getting minimally decked. Shoot for 10.5:1 Compression??????

^^^ In my experience, your going the wrong way if your plan is to go higher than the stock NA compression ratio on a supercharged engine.
You should be going the opposite way with the compression ratio with plans to make more boost.
(Pretty sure others on this site are not gonna like this comment): I think you should sell the Trilogy SC, intercooler, SC tensioner bracket, COT, and heat exchanger for a ridiculous amount of cash, then place that money back into your build and end up with a better setup. Replace the parts I listed above with (Jerrys HD/SC brackets, SS COT), Froozenboost type 100 heat exchanger, LFP Performance TIG welded intercooler, and a kit from James Hell to move you over to a GT500 supercharger (TVS, Whipple, Eaton)
I took this route and never looked back as my current TVS is far superior to my old Trilogy. If you wanted to you could sell it as a complete kit. Ditch the Trilogy lower pulley for an Innovators West with the SC pulley hub built in for whatever lower ring you wish.
I built a full Trilogy kit, all I had to start with was just a SC. My kit lives on under the hood of Mebot's MM
Agree on ditching the old. It’s great for what it was intended to be but a complete bottle neck to take it any farther.
I haven’t met one person who regretted upgrading.

Bill Is the extra belt tensioner at the alternator really needed or is it extreme ?

It's not an extra tensioner its an extra pulley.
We both have Jerrys HD swap brackets, they add an additional pulley that's mounted on a bridge much like the factory did with the Terminators.
It is necessary if you plan on making high boost with no belt slip.
I currently make 20psi and I have -0- belt slip @ WOT
At what point with a good after market tensioner would that extra pulley be needed ?

All depends. What's a "good aftermarket tensioner"?
What kind of upper? Grooved or not?
What SC? An Eaton? Definitely not needed! Whipple? After you cross 14psi TVS? Same as a Whipple, after you cross 14psi
Pretty sure someone will chime in and say "I make 17psi on an Eaton with no belt slip and no extra pulleys". My answer is your Eaton won't build boost as fast as a TVS or Whipple so I'm not surprised you didn't need the extra pulley.
Well, I know I had belt slip at 10 lb of boost, replaced the tensioner and still slipped. I would like to add that hardware to 'Dragcity Marauder'.

I also agree with replacing the Trilogy with a GT500 supercharger. Drivers side inlet and a far superior blower.
You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference
I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
