Me personally, I would save my money untill I have the supercharger just for the reason of having as much money as possible while making a big change like this.

Now, also understand that if you do get the GM reflash, you are very limited with tuning capabilities. Any modification to change airflow, you should adjust fuel consumption but you'd be incapable of using HP Tuners with the reflash. This is just an FYI incase you decide to want to drop to a smaller pulley size (the kit comes with an 3.5" pulley producing 9-10 PSI max).

But if you are still choosing to buy parts right now, I would say, purchase atleast colder spark plugs, don't install them just yet but have them around. Check out NGK, e-mail them for the part number for a supercharged ecotec jbody.

One last thing, the intake you have will either need to be replaced or cut up because the supercharger will take up most of the area that the intake is taking up. Look up pictures of an SS/SC engine and you'll get a good idea of what your engine bay will look like.

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

Maybe cams and P&P head? Also, you didn't mention if you had header.
I think you could save your AEM intake and just put air filter right on the supercharger without any piping (I'm not sure about it, but I think it should work)
Cheers!
