imagine it would be the same for most.. but you'd have to get it dyno'd after, so always good to have good plugs and wires, along with injectors and fuel pump. Not sure what they are stock with, but i'd still say more fuel. traction bars/suspension would help if not already installed. you haven't said what you have or anything about the car. so thats a good start.

suspension will help you use the amount of power you will be gaining for forced induction. its nice to have the power, won't do much good if you can keep it on the ground. tires, uca/lca's subframe connectors panhard bars, etc. pick your poison. nice to have alot of power, suspension will let you use it.

the bare minimum is a fmu for 6 lbs... I ran one for about 30 miles and decided to upgrade the fuel system
keep a check on the timing too. If it were me, I would drop it down to 8 initial and see how it does
copper plugs a step or two colder that stock. Gap the plugs from 28 to 30 thousandths with the stock ignition system
It would be a good idea to replace the fuel pump but, you could get away with the stock pump and 6 psi.
