Using a complete carb encloser is not necessary if you mod your carb ,like sealing the throttle shafts & other items.

Some people say if your running low boost,you do not need an intercooler. I say, anytime you can lower your intake temps,do it.
Don't really need an intercooler if you are running 100% methanol in your gas tank. If not, use a methanol/water injection kit.
I did not run an intercooler,but I also had a positive deck,(pistons came out past the top of the block).002-.004"
That helps reduce the chance of detonation.
A B.O.V. will stop the pressurized air from going backwards through the blower.
I used an old HKS BOV.You can see it in a previous post pic.
Wastegates are for a turbocharged set-up.
If you will drive in cold weather ,a heated intake is a good idea.
Run a wide lobe center cam,115 or wider for a smooth idle,& not too much duration causing the boost pressure to just blow past the exhaust valves & not pressure the engine.
The cam I had was approx .550 lift,236 in 246 ex degrees duration @ .050 on a 115 lobe center,you could definately hear it. Too big for a tow vehicle,but good for my daily driver. 254 ci L6
