    Skip the MAF upgrade, you won't outflow it with minimal mods and only a pulley drop. Save your money there.

    Headers or a plog/downpipe combo for exhaust. The cheaper headers don't come with a cat converter if you have emissions.

    Start with a 3.6 pulley because GEN V's are better than the older GEN 3 superchargers, a 3.6 is like a 3.4 on a GEN 3.

    There are no TB upgrades for 04+.

    As said above, you'll want a scangauge and overkill seems to be only person selling tunes for 06-07.

    As for the MAF upgrade, my reason for thinking of going with that is because Overkill's cold air intake system comes with it by default and it's still about $100 cheaper than the comparable K&N intake. When in Rome, y'know?
