Performance Upgrades

I'm considering taking the supercharger plunge. Now, before I do, what order should I install things? Everything I have read seems to indicate that the supercharger will give you the biggest bang for the buck. Under that assumption, what should be done at the same time or shortly there after? Level 10 VB upgrade (I have the 30K cooler installed)? Headers? Exhaust upgrades?

My thought is the VB upgrade should probably come quickly after the S/C to limit the impact of the additional HP on the transmission.

The headers and exhaust upgrades can probably wait until cashflow improves.

Then, of course, are the fuel system upgrade if I want to go that route.

Thanks for the insight!

I don't think there is really a set procedure for when you install additional upgrades. I did mine in the following order:

TRD cat-back exhaust
K&N FIPK (removed)
Supercharger
"Supercharged" badges (good for at least 10 hp each)
ECU reprogram
Apex'i S-AFC
305cc injectors
Edelbrock headers
9lb s/c pulley (removed)
TRD thermostat
Deckplate mod

That's all I can think of right now.
