Buying A Supercharger!! QUESTION Though!
I found what appears to be a decent used Whipple super charger in the used parts section of the forum (well it atleast appears to be good, or I really really hope it is good haha).
Anyhow, The kit runs $6,000 new and I'm purchasing at $2300.
I may need to buy some additional small parts from whipple but I really think everything will be there and in good working order.
My question is, what am I going to need to be aware of before adding this charger to my truck? Im running a 6" suspension lift with a 3" body lift and 38"x13.5 Tire. Do I need to upgrade any other components or can I leave the truck as is? I don't plan on romping on this thing 24/7 but if I do want to get on it, I want to be able to knowing I'm not going to be breaking ******. The charger claims to put the truck at 475 hp - what are your thoughts on buying a used supercharger and also on any additional upgrades that will be needed.
Getting a good deal on a supercharger does me no good if I end up blowing gears, a rear end, motor, etc!

12 Second Truck
No it doesn't need injectors but it is highly recommended. I have an install manual I can email you if you would like. That will give you a run down of parts. Pm me your email address. Also the plugs can be purchased for a lot less. What year is your truck? I'll show you where to get them. Once you are ready to install it call JDM and get a tune for it. You will be all set.
