My setup. Am I missing anything? I have been waiting for a long time to install everything and I am a week away. This is a list of what I have or what is coming via UPS. Let me know what you guys think and if I am missing anything. 
I want to get a T trim but for now this will have to do. So what I am undecided on is the PCV system. Do the Metco breathers go on both sides? Or just on one side? Or do a catch can setup with a check inline check valve? Also do you vortech owners have any belt slippage? Also going to weld the oil drain from the blower since I am allready breaking the seal on the pan to do the oil pump. The car allready put down 389 rwhp SAE corrected with the cam and all the bolt ons. Car allready has SLP subframes,lca's,adjustable panhard bar,adjustable T arm and a girdle. I know the 10 bolt is junk but I will have to get a 12 bolt when funds are available. Any help or things that you guys see that I will need let me know. 
1. Vortech V-9 with after cooler and Ice box. And a smaller pulley. Need to measure it to know what it is.
2. FFHP (TEA CNC) stage 2 6.0L heads. With the patriot double springs.
3. TR224 cam (224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA ) Allready in the car.
4. GM mls head gaskets. And all the other gaskets and seals for a heads install.
5. ARP head bolts
6. SVO 42#'s and inline T rex
7. TSP ported oil pump and double roller T chain.
8. Boost,fuel and A/F gauges with triple pillar pod.
9. Upgraded the T56 and installed a 3F spec clutch with a new slave.
10. And a bad *** tune.

With less than 12psi, I found one breather on the passenger side was enough. At 14-15psi I had to add a 2nd breather on the driver side. I would run two for 12psi+ tho.

Got ya. I am going to order one tomorrow. Anything you see that you think I might need
I had my pcv stuff looped from the driver's side cover to the passenger cover. Passenger cover has a breather. This year I went to dual breathers. so one breather is now in the back of the driver's cover where the pcv used to be. I would at least one run for now.

You're going to need a pump and some lines for the aftercooler (not sure if it is included or not). Also, you will probably be getting the charge pipes, inlet pipes, filter, and any bypass valve or BOV to prevent compressor surge. If not, you also need those. You might want to choose a slightly higher spring pressure to help keep the valves shut when you're running forced induction. I can't think of anything else really -- I'm assuming all the oil lines and fittings and stuff are included with the supercharger. Good luck!

That T-Rex pump is nasty loud. I would look at other options unless you don't mind the noise. If you delete the PCV you'll get a foul smell. I prefer the catch can/ checkvalve. Belt slip probably won't be an issue, its not a Vortech trait on the smaller blowers.
