Default supercharger prep

Hey guys I'm pretty new to this so I need some advice. I've got a 4.6L and plan on putting a supercharger on it and would like to know what mods I should do before that. I've gotten some advice from a friend of mine but would like some other opinions.

So far all I've really done to it is give it a full exhaust system and have tires that can handle the power. Your help would be much appreciated.

on a side note... it has slp loudmouth 1's on it, it sounds good to me but my friend is pushing for me to get flowmaster delta 40's on it.

technically you really dont need any mods if your buying a complete kit. maybe just upgraded fuel pump...

Yeah, don't waste your money on bolt ons. Just upgrade the fuel and your good to go!

I concur, but I would recommend getting a handheld tuner such as diablo or SCT and get the car tuned on a dyno, the right way, instead of using canned tunes.

Injectors, fuel pump, and tune. What kit are you looking at?
