Default Recommended/Needed Upgrades b4 SC

Hey guys im starting to save up for my Supercharger, im leaning towards a Vortech, my question is what upgrades do i need or are suggested before the supercharger, i have a full exhaust and full intake setup, 75MM plenum & 70MM TB from PP, and BBK CAI, do i need to upgrade my intake manifold to like a PP typhoon intake or should i be ok with a stock intake? im only looking to run about 8psi of boost im looking for about 380-400hp when all is said and done with bolts on to help a little, any help would be appreciated guys, i don't wanna just get the SC and then find out my stock parts aren't gonna hold up, obviously i know what i need for the super charger to work like new fuel injectors, fuel pump, ect, but other than whats required for the SC to function what else if anything do i NEED or SHOULD i UPGRADE? thanks guys!!

With 8 psi you should be fine with your current mods as long as you are buying a COMPLETE kit

I would seriously consider a intercooler or methanol to keep temps down, and to get consistent reliable power.

I'd recommend picking up a Procharger P1-sc kit, already will have your front mount intercooler in the kit as well.
