you can run it with just what sts gives you, but i would reccommend upgrading at least the spark plugs as well. there is alot more, but you can run the truck with what they send you. install is not the easiest...

I had to get colder plugs when I first installed the kit. Autolite HT0. Get a supercharger if its your daily driver. Rain is your enemy with these kits, unless you want to chop a hole in your bed like I did.

Hey eckomaninred, do you have any pics of your sts setup? I keep hearing about this system but yet nobody is willing to show it.
