^ That would be Dave.
Anyway, there is a lot of reading you need to do Kenny. You can go a few different routes with it:
URD fuel/timing kit
SMT 6 option
7th injector with controller
Yes, you need to upgrade the fuel pump. Yes, you need new injectors. Yes, you need to gain control of the timing. Don't listen to the guys that say you can run without fuel/timing mods. That's like playing roulette with your engine. I tried to be cheap and skip injectors at first. That was a mistake. I ended up needing them anyway and had to tear the SC'r off again to put them in. Just do it right the first time or don't do it at all.
Don't even consider a smaller pulley unless you have a complete fuel/timing kit on there. You will also need a scan tool to adjust the global fuel trim once the injectors are in.
My mpg is slightly better with the mods in my sig. Interesting huh?

You'll get people on all sides of the coin...
People that have put one on and would never go without.
People that don't want to spend the money or deal with all the hassle (91+ gas, fuel mods, etc).
And finally people that have put one on and taken it back off.
BTW.....TRDOLMAN (Dave) was the Taco with over 300 HP, plenty of threads on what he did.

I love mine. Mine does throw check engine light when I pull a trailer under load for some reason. Can't say this is supercharger related, but that is my guess. The error is lean fuel in Bank 1. I would still go with a charger. Lots more power over my other 4runner.

That can't be a good thing to happen only under load like that.

yeah its manual w/ 99k on. the thing is is that the guy who has the SC has the 7th kit and headers and wants to sell 2gether. i wanted headers anyway. Do i need additional fuel mods along w/ the 7th kit? i thought that is the fuel mod w/ the new injectors and all. thanks

Once you get everything in and tuned you are going to fry that clutch pretty quick, so be ready for that too.
You will be amazed at the difference in power. 1st gear is just ridiculous in mine. 2nd and 3rd are insane. You simply will not believe how fast you can pass people with the SC'r properly tuned.

Just a thought.... Did you know the 7th injector is vehicle specific? I didn't think they were designed for pre-1999 (could be wrong). They are specific for auto/manual tho (from my reading). --- Just something to check b4 you buy.
