Jackson Supercharger on my 96 Civic EX(D16Y8)

Here is my current car setup:
96 civic EX coupe (D16Y8), its an automatic with 80,000 miles

current engine mods installed:
AEM-cold air intake
Greddy EVO II-cat back
DC Sports 4-2-1-Header

I just bought a Jackson racing supercahrger with the Stage 1 boost kit. I know that the Jackson supercharger is not the best but I bought the kit NEW from a friend for very very cheap and I was only looking to add a little more power to my daily driver. I have some questions.

1) I also bought an AEM fuel rail. Should I put it on or is there no need for it. Also if Ido put on the fuel rail should I put on some high flow fuel injectors? If so which ones would people recomend and what size?

2)Given the mileage on my car already should I upgrade any of the internals in my engine before I put on the Boost kit. I believe the boost kit allows it to run at 8psi or should I just leave it at the 6psi without the boost kit?

3)Last question, Is there anything else that I should upgrade once I install the supercharger?

Thanks for you help in advance.

if you bought the kit complete then you shouldnt need anything else. did it come with some sort of fuel management ?

Well covered topic.

Everything you have with the basic kit will be fine.

Fuel management or JR bandaids will make your SCed experience alot better.

SCed SOHC will only make you more boost hungry.

Never seen an automatic SOHC JRSCed before, though, you should come down and give me a test ride :iceslolan
