what does that can do? is it really necessary? or its just for modified engines?
An oil catch tank (oil catch can) is a device that isfitted into the cam/crank case ventilation system on a car. Installing an oil catch tank (can) aims to reduce the amount of oil vapors re-circulated into the intake of the engine.
Is the catch can necessary?. I think you just started WW 3 with that question LOL, depends who you ask.
a far as the last part of your question you can install catch can on any car/truck modified or not.

You should pull your intake tube and look inside the intake manifold with a flash light and tell us what you think... lol

Kooks! Mine sound freaking awesome...

Just FYI... the TB spacer is a waste of time and money on these engines since they are not TB fuel injected. The injectors are down stream so it has no effect on fuel atomization like the older vehicles.
Also... BBP did dyno tests on a bunch of intakes and concluded that the best power per dollar came from just changing the intake tube to the MIT and keeping the stock (cold air) box.
Not knocking your choices just trying to help you save a buck.

Long tube for sure, only question is how big... Bigger the better for forced induction down the road (1 7/8" or 2"). Mine are 1 7/8" because I believe that's the largest you can go on the trucks. Spark plug changes aren't easy, not gonna lie unless you remove wheel well liners. Our engine bays get cramped quick.
If you're not going forced induction, go with the smaller long tubes so you retain as much low end torque as possible. Throttle body spacer I can't comment on for N/A applications. I welded one to my supercharger snout to open it up to 102mm and use the O ring and I can say it definitely helped with air flow and was required so my supercharger pulley didn't hit the throttle body without flipping it upside down.
thank you!, I don't think I be able to use the tube that comes with this intake anyway after SC gets installed,

Also about the headers... whatever you go with, I would recommend getting them ceramic coated if you can't order them already coated.

Away!
Send it back and keep your $.
Just to confirm "best power per dollar" doesn't mean that MIT tube with stock box outperformed whole intake system correct or it did?
its what I am hearing, that is just a whistleblower at its best.

Kooks or ARH for the headers, both make top notch products. Go with whichever you can get the best deal on between the 2. I would stick with 1 3/4", better clearance and low end at the sacrifice of some top end power.

You can save a few hundred if you shop around on those

I paid $900 for my Kooks headers, #28502400 and the Y pipe was $525 I believe... The headers I ordered from Johnny at justboltons.com and email him for the best price. Y pipe I ordered from Maryland speed which I can't recommend if you want them quick. There's a few dealers here that can get you a good deal and might even have them in stock.
