headers affect on supercharger

You might see a slight drop in boost (1-2psi), but the gains from the headers will more than make up for the boost drop. Plus you can always throw on a slightly smaller pulley to bring the boost back up. Either way, a good set of long tubes is always recommended on any supercharged application.

What are your current mods: exhaust, intake, heads, cam, anything that could effect boost. And how much psi do you see now at max boost? I'm not too familiar with the roots blowers but all superchargers are normally effected by any and all of those mods. Like I said though, gains you'll see from adding the long tubes will outweigh the small loss in boost.

Ahh, I wasn't aware that you didn't have the blower on the truck yet. Go ahead and pick up a set of long tubes if you've got the cash, it'll help the blower breathe better and you'll want to ditch the cats anyway before you put the whipple on. A set of ceramic coated pacesetters with ory will more than suffice for your build and you'll be glad you went ahead and got them now. Cam also wouldn't be a horrible idea but isnt totally necessary and keep in mind with a cam you'll need pushrods and valve springs and depending on the size of the cam probably a higher stalled converter.
