Default Supercharger question

I have an 05 goat and I want to stick with the whole American muscle idea and go old school with a supercharger instead of a turbo, Im actually buying a whipple here in a couple weeks because I'm getting it for so cheap, but wondering, besides bolt ons, and a tune, what else am I needing? Obviously cam is going in and bigger wheels. I know I need a bigger pulley as well, but are gears necessary as well! Help me out, what should I be doing to it besides all that, some people say i don't need much than bolt ons and a tune because the ls2 can hold well, oh, and we are tuning it on low boost for now as well. Thanks guys!

Ya, your whipple wont work without a ton of custom fab work. Only PD blowers for the goat are roots style maggies (mp 112, mp 122, tvs 1900, tvs 2300). No twin screws (kenne bell, whipple)

Sounds like the first thing you should do is more reading before posting. Whipple doesn't make a bolt on kit for the GTO.
