thats a perfect start especially if its new, make sure its 10row, or 02+ to be safe. the other items in the pic are needed, like ktrostel said, make sure he wont bend you over and give you half, normally the full setup using pictures like that go for 1400 on ebay.

on top of all that you wanna check out http://www.madenterprise.com he has a nice list of all the other little things you need to make this project run. plus your gonna want a tune from troyer.

to make things easier on mike at madenterprise, you will need atleast 1 255lph fuel pump. if you get a dual pump setup flowing more than that you need a voltage regulator (if i remember correctly) that cuts the power to 8v when idling and gradually increases with throttle. this would be needed because the return line isnt big enough so the extra fuel usually winds up being forced into the cylinder. also he mentioned you dont need more than 255lph unless your pushin more than 450 rwhp.

one thing im not certain on is the fact of what year your truck is and with this idea. he made it sound like the 00 or 01+ had a harness addition over the 97-98's that allowed control over the voltage to the pumps.

i have a 03, i have already talked to mike, all i really need to get started is the take off supercharger like the one on e-bay, after that i should be able to get everything i need from mike.i am also trying to find out from the seller what year the take off is and if it has a 10 row or 9 row. i am hoping i can win the bid for the low price and i dont get screwed. thanks

    Bigtruck311, I see you won the e-bay auction on the Harley/Lightning supercharger. I almost bumped you up a notch but I usually don't bid unless they take PayPal. Congrat's on the deal!!
