Default Supercharging my Dakota

So ive decided to supercharge my 2007 dakota. i plan on buying the the airram.com adaptor plates to mount an Eaton m112 onto my 4.7. im also buying the throttlebody adaptor to mount my throttle body to the supercharger. as well as a better torque convertor.
but i have a few questions for you guys who have done this or something similar to this.
what injectors do i need to upgrade to?
do i need to upgrade my ECU?
what serpentine belt do i need to use?
what else do i need to upgrade?

Take some good measurements before you buy that adapter if it's the one I'm thinking of. We know it fits on a Ram but it looks pretty iffy on fitting under a stock Dakota hood. If you're going to need a new hood (or cut yours up) you'll want to plan for that ahead of time.

I was more thinking budget-wise planning. Not a problem for awhile but if he plans to drive it in more than just nice weather hoods are nice.

Tuning is the most important consideration. You will need to invest in good tuning to make sure nothing goes KaBoom. I use SCT there are also tuners out there using Diablo Sport Ect. Split Second makes good piggyback fuel management systems if you get one with the port for additional fuel injectors.

Bigger Injectors, I recommend Ford SVT 4.6L #39 injectors.

Custom made pulley to allow the belts to line up. My belt is 102.5 inches, could be slightly different with an Eaton.

If you can get one that is self lubricating, do it. If not you will have to tap your oil pan for the return line. You will also need the oil sending unit.

You will want to read this also.
