I am getting a new Vortech V3 SI trim Tuner kit for 2500.

The kit comes with the Head Unit and the following.
* Discharge tubing
* Compressor bypass valve
* Mounting brackets
* Supercharger drive pulley
* Integrated belt tensioner
* Drive belt
* Clamps
* Mounting hardware

For those who have put together their own kit. Im trying to figure out what else Ill need. So far I can think of

Fuel Pump
Injectors
Chip/Tune

Am I missing anything?

The intake tubing/piping. An upgraded Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) - lots of people upgrade to the 90mm Lightning MAF. I would make sure the injectors are 42lbs or more, and the fuel pump most people go with either an SVT Focus fuel pump, a single or dual Cobra pump setup, or a Ford GT pump set up. I believe I listed those in order of price, probably. Other than those I think you've got everything you need, but i'm sure more experienced people who actually have a Vortech kit will respond as well.

I'm looking to do the same thing you are doing, so I have been doing a lot of research as well. I would recommend looking into some form of cooling off the air charge too. Your choices are, as far as I know, Vortech's air-to-water aftercooler, methanol injection - it's cheaper than the intercoolers and provides you with a cooler air charge and can change the octane rating of 93 octane fuel to around 100 so its more like race gas which allows you to run a little more timing to make more power without detonation (which is the whole point of the intercooling idea anyway), or you can go with a front mount intercooler (FMIC) - lots of companies make these, some people have had success with brands like CXRacing and Treadstone, they are relatively cheap when compared to the air-to-water intercoolers and are as cheap in some cases as methanol injection without the hassle of replacing fluids, ie water, ice for the water, or methanol/water mix.

...wow that was a lot of typing for a relatively simple response, sorry about the essay I just wrote, lol.
