Now that the giggles are out, I'd highly recommend that you buy a kit that includes the necessary fuel and spark upgrades, but I'd recommend the following as well:
New clutch- I installed my clutch 500 miles before I installed my supercharger. A new clutch needs to be broken in gently, and the temptation of 200 extra rwhp is hard to resist.
Sticky tires- I bought a set of M/T cheater slicks for the track only. I don't showboat on the street, but I don't want to sit and spin at the track.
LCA's- Your stock LCAs are garbage, and with the added power of a supercharger, the forces acting upon them are increased exponentially. I recommend BMR.
I'm sure there are other things that I should mention, but I'm just too tired to think, lol.

Do suspension upgrades before SC. rear control arms upper and lower, springs, struts and shocks, also aluminum driveshaft is a plus. Any engine mods you do while normally aspirated will go away when you SC so you will be stuck with a bunch of stuff to sell.
