Im finally taking my truck in to Stillen on monday to get the maggie installed so i was wondering what i should do so i can enjoy the supercharger.

I already have a TC for the trans from Circle D and a cooler. Now i was thinking i should put a shift kit servo and put a posi in the rear with the stock 3.42's.

Is that good enough to last a couple thousand and in wha order should i get it done? Gauges?

Leave quiet a bit of torque management in the tranny or it will start slippin pretty quick. How much boost will you be running?

If it were me.

I would either buy a performabuilt 60e or do a 80e swap. I would also go with a lower gear.

I'm not too sure on this, as I have asked the question myself on a thread I made. But I believe you will be needing higher flowing injectors, and fuel pump. And the tranny is definitely something to consider. Good luck on your build, keep us updated!

Shift kit and vette servo will do you good.
