Default Adding a Supercharger to my L36

hi all. so ive been doing a lot of reading on the forum and still cant seem to find a polished list of all the things i would need to put an 04 tony stewart edition supercharger on my 7,000 mile chevy remanufactured 3.8 series II.

one of my dads buddies has a low milage tony stewart edition i am going to part out. (no ts goodies left btw, sorry ) i want to take the supercharger off his car but i cant figure out what else i would need to take off his car. coil pack? tb? fuel rails?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Take everything you can LOL.

Going to for sure need: Supercharger, Lower Intake Manifold, Fuel Rails, Injectors, Injector wires, Heads, Valve Covers, Coil Pack mount, Belt, Pulleys, + more...

I honestly would take everything that you can get. Keep in mind you'll need all new fluids, gaskets, and a way to get the PCM to function properly with the new additions.

I'm sure someone will be able to chime in with a more "complete" list of everything you'll need.

Here is what comes to mind off the top of my head

Supercharger
Lower Intake Manifold
Throttlebody
Fuel Rails
MAP sensor
Heads
All Supercharger idler/tensioner pulleys
crank pulley
coil pack bracket
MAP sensor plug with as much wire as you can get
Valve covers
Injectors
Vacuum lines

Like '01 Monte SS said...take as much as you can. That will save you in the long run looking for parts.

Get yourself a good way to scan for Knock Retard as well because you'll likely have that if you don't have any other intake/exhaust mods.

I'd also get colder spark plugs, 180* T-stat, cold air intake, u-bend delete, and if you can afford it 1.9 rockers and headers while you are there.

You need half the engine, best bet? Taking the transmission and engine together and putting it in your car.

I know your engine is rebuilt, but this is probably the best idea.
