Adding all of that power I would at least first get an upper and lower control arm set.

Don't worry about cai/tuners, you will get that with the v3. I would concentrate more on hook-up with the additional power and that all starts with the rubber!
Wheels and tires would be first on my list along with the proper gear swap. Since the v3 does not make power down low, I would think 4.10 gearing would be the obvious choice. After those two were addressed I would consider upgrading the exhaust and other suspension components as needed.

the car is for daily driving probaly.
i do not know much about suspension mods like what kind how much they cost parts and for install. and i assume there for better handeling.
ok thanks for the info on the cai i did not know that,
how much would it cost to redue the tires would i need to get new rims to or just rubber.
right now ill probaly get the v3 and a set of 4:1 gears, depending on how much suspension mods cost and if there really worth it

I just bought this same supercharger set up but haven't put it on yet. What the guy earlier was saying about gears is golden advice. Centrifugal SC's build boost at higher RPM levels, so the lower the gear, the better. 4:10's will get you there quick. I have 3:73 in mine and I wish I had gone with 4:10 when I did the swap.
After you get it on, you'll get a better idea of what your needs are. If you have a lot of wheel hop, you'll want to do upper and lower control arms. You won't have wheel hop though if your tires aren't biting, so tires are very important. As far as next engine mod, long tube headers will open her up a bit.
