    Hey all, ordered a Kenne Bell supercharger last week, and i'm just wondering what else ill eventually need to beef up so stuff don't break and leave me stranded. I know half-shafts are a must, but are they necessary right away if im just running on the street with street tires? What else would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

    Fix it when and if it breaks, there are far too many different circumstances that cause breakage and yours might not be one of them. This is from one Kenne Bell owner to another.

    Congrats on the KB; will be fun for sure.

    Carry a spare belt, a 3/8 breaker bar, and a belt diagram.

    Other recommendations? Don't F with the tune. If you're stock, the factory KB tune should be fine. If you have cam or headers you want to update the tune... and there are only 5 or 6 people in the world that I'd trust re-tuning a supercharged Hemi.
