Cleanliness. Use zip lock bags for your parts and label them.

Just take your time. Follow the instructions, they are pretty good. The only area that is lacking is mounting the heat exchanger. You will need to do some cutting to get it to fit properly but it WILL fit. The only other suggestion is to DEFINITELY have someone there to assist you when you go to put the supercharger in place on the engine. It is a heavy sucker! Also, the manual describes getting a tool to move the AC lines at the firewall. I did not need to do this, there was plenty of room, since our trucks are probably nearly identical, just ignore this step.

Here is the support before I cut into it. The yellow markings are where I cut.

This is a really dark picture but this is the HE mounted to the support with the supplied brackets. You might need to adjust the brightness on your monitor or if you have a photo editing program, you can brighten it.
