Default Supercharger Engine Life



I'm thinking about getting a Vortech Supercharger System, but I was reading a lot of talk about the life of a Supercharger on stock internals. The Vortech System comes with a lot of extras but I'm sure other things will need to be changed. I plan to change my throttle body andheaders. What other things NEED to be changed to help my engine have a long happy life. Thanx<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>


The System comes with the following:</P>
