Default mods that goes along with supercharger?

I'm thinking about going with a Supercharger in the future...but want to do a few mods that will compliment the supercharger in the near future.
Can someone more experienced give me a list of mods that will compliment the supercharger? I've done a bit of searching and know that most of the N/A mods are pretty much a waste after you get a supercharger, so what should I do now that will give me a few gains in hp to tie me over til the charger comes? Thanks in advance.

I heard you'd need a better clutch, and that a true dual exhaust should be somewhere in the equation as well?

Most NA mods will complment a SC. Except CAI. You'll need to custom fab one for the SC. Not that hard.

it depends on what type of supercharger you plan on getting. if you want the vortech or any cetrifugal supercharger, the mods listed above would be great. but if you want the stillen, which is a roots charger, you're gonna be limited. no headers, spacer/plenum, hfc/TP's, and possibly no shorter final drive.

the headers, hfcs, and TP's will cause you to decrease backpressure which will lead you to lose power. spacer/plenum won't fit because the stillen replaces the entire plenum. shorter final drive might not be a good idea because there is so much low end torque with the stillen, you might not get traction (but i guess it depends on how you drive, really ).

well, good news is that if you decide on getting the stillen unit, you can use a CAI

Go forced-induction first. Forget trivial bolt-ons.

In matter of importance IMO:

1- Larger oil pan (only if supercharger using engine oil)
2- 2.5" tru duel exhoust
3- test pipes
4- plenum spacer
5- final drive 3.9?
