With a supercharger...what else to get?

Really wanting to add a supercharger...already have a cam, headers and roto-fab cai. Looking to throw on a tvs23oo Maggie. Main goal is reliability. What else needs to be upgraded to ensure reliability? Have had the cam upgrade for 3 years now with no issues at all and want to upgrade what needs to be on a supercharger install to stay as reliable as possible...saving up now, so in the early stages of research here...thx

Budget? HP goals?

Most important is fueling/tune followed by driver mod. Then after that, list goes on and on. Depends on your budget.

All the above and I'll add "1000hp Axles" to the list.

Do you know how radical the cam is? How much boost do you want to set it up for?

The Maggie kits are pretty complete with injectors and the like to do the install on a stock car. Since you have headers on it, and a cam now it is going to require a custom tune.

If there was one other thing I would suggest doing while you are in there would be a better clutch. With anything the car will always find the weakest link out so to speak, and most of the time that is going to be tire spin but it will put a bit more load on the clutch depending on how hard the car is driven.

If you are wanting more boost than the standard Maggie kit, then you will more than likely have to do the fuel pump upgrade like the twin in take LPE units.

Other than that...it's going to need traction.

Pretty much everyone nailed it on what you need.

Custom tune, fuel supply, Rear suspension to hold the power etc...

You will need to upgrade the Roto Fab intake tube to make it work with the Maggie.

PM or Call me with any questions.

With a cam and other bolt ons on board already, adding a Maggie you will run out of fuel. The "LS9" injectors will not support your needs, nor will the stock fuel pump. So depending on your goals you can address your fuel needs that way, ZL1 pump with the ADM FPCM will get you to 650whp with adequate injectors (85lb+). Beyond that I'd explore the dual pumps etc...
Also if your cam is an aggressive NA cam, you may have to swap it out for best results and to obtain your reliability factor. And most importantly a nice safe tune.

What are the rear suspension mods needed to hold the supercharger power.

I am new at this so please give some details.

A word of caution! Before getting this thing to stick with suspension and rubber mods.....you may want to look into upgrading clutch, driveshaft, diff, axles. The stock M6 should last a while. Unless you can afford to start breaking the OEM parts.

Consider staying with the factory tires/and eliminating wheel hop and relying on them as the fuse to make your other drivetrain parts last till you can upgrade. YMMV

A set of PFADT or BMR Trailing arms would be on the top of my list when you increase the HP/TQ!

I'd say get a SFI harmonic balancer.
As said. For 550rwhp a ZL1 fuel pump and the LS9 injectors are fine.
