Default question about supercharger necessitys

i was just curious, i just bought a supercharger kit for my 05 gt. i was just wondering if there is anything else i should do to the car before i strap that on? i do have some good suspension work and im sure a clutch would be a good thing. anything else that is a real necessity with putting on a super charger?

Which SC kit did you order? And what did it come with?

Colder plugs, the inter cooler fluid, custom tune would be nice.

If you get the tune from Brenspeed you will at least be able to drive the car around some before going to the dyno. I wouldn't drive the car a ton with the stock tune and a new SC.
