Alright, we have quite a few boosted or soon to be boosted members on the site, I just figured I'd start this thread. List what you have/will be getting to go with your supercharger.
What all type of gauges?
Colder spark plugs? Anyone have a part number?
Headers/Y pipe?
MSD ignition?
Traction bars?
New tires? lol
T Clamps for intake tubing?
E fan?
I'm also wondering what octane of pump gas are you running?

See my sig for "what else. . ." None of the "what else" stuff is necessary, though -- I just like power.
I run 93 octane and nothing but. Don't use anything less than 91 octane, for certain -- 92 or 93 if you can find it.

100 shot of n20 to cool down the intake charge

Ok, thanks for the info on the gas. What gauges are good to have? I'm probably gonna get a boost gauge, and maybe a fuel presure gauge. Should I also get an AFR or any other kind of gauge?
if you have the extra money, i would seriously consider getting a wideband controller and a/f gauge. alot of people use the innovative lm-1, they just came out with the lc-1 controller and the xd-1 gauge that they are selling as a bundle, i think thats the way i'm gonna go

I didn't bother with one -- and haven't seen the need yet. It wouldn't be a bad idea, but I don't feel it's necessary.

I'd get the bypass valve. "Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it".

i'm considering gettin one with my kit. the problem with TBI's is that the fuel is injected above the throttle blades, so when your revving and you let off closing the blades, boost builds up and can force the air fuel mixture through the throttle blade shafts and can leak into the cab. i dont particularly enjoy the smell of gas lol. prolly dont have to worry about it with only 4 psi but i dont plan on staying there for long
