Default Engine maintenance with forced induction

I'm rolling around 17K with my stage II procharger kit and was wondering if folks have recommendations / experience with maintaining an engine long term with a supercharger. Things off the top of my head is when plugs should be replaced, anything with the fuel system, belt changes, fluids outside the normal oil and p/c change, and any filters? I've never had a supercharged vic before so this is my first one. Appreciate any insight on this.

I change the oil every 5K and take a look at the plugs with each oil change. Other than that I just drive it.

On my truck I'll pull the plugs every 10,000 miles and inspect for gap creep. I also drain my catch can every couple thousand miles, and while I'm doing that I check the belts and for any signs of belt slip (black power on or around the pulleys). I do oil changes every 5k or thereabouts, and when I'm under the truck I inspect the driveline for any issues such as looseness or leaks.
