You dont have to worry about that fuel rails the supercharger will come with a Vortech FMU which will increase fuel pressure so dont worry about it. You will need to go to a 1 or 2 step colder spark plugs. Important item is a EGT gauge, and hopefully you will get a blowoff valve with that. In the future plan on getting a boost gauge. If your 5 speed you may want to upgrade your clutch.

Not important items but I d get them anyways
Auto-Auto tranny oil cooler kit!!
5speed a oil cooler would definitely come in handy for about $95.00 from Jegs only if it is hot in the area you live in!!!

No you will need to go to a 1 step colder plug. You can get some cheap ones from Napa for $1.89 until you can afford some plat ones.
Your auto PM cumalot and ask him where did he get his tranny oil cooler kit. thats all for now!

You can pick up a tranny cooler at Pep Boys or Auto Zone. I suggest you get the quality spark plugs like NGK's.

EGT and Boost gauge. Prices vary depend on your budget. You can go the cheap route and get some Autometer gauges. When I had my SC, I got Apexi gauges which were pretty expensive. For your tranny, get the tranny cooler and consider a Valve Body upgrade. You can get one from Don in Texas or Level Ten. Search for more info.
