    You will need a bigger fuel pump and injectors. A free flowing exhaust will help too.

    You really wont need a bigger sump or high flow oil pump ( you can get them if you want )

    What size pulley did you get with it and is it crank or power steering driven?

    I'd make sure your cam is going to be OK with the supercharger, too much overlap is bad for boosted engines.
