I'm running the 69mm high boost pulley without one right now with no problems (on a conservative tune [that is still fast as shit] from Delicious Tuning). Pulled a little faster than a corvette the other day after some alcohol injections. Don't know corvettes too well, but I'm pretty sure this one was NA.

I'd definitely recommend Delicious Tuning as your tuner. Outstanding shit.
I'm running the same setup. Can confirm it is amazing. But here is what I learned from ownership.

If you're planning on running the supercharger with no cooling, expect a lot of power loss in hot weather or traffic from heat soak. You can run a smaller pulley, the intercooler, or meth injection like @riboyster and I, to help. I'd evaluate your driving style and environment before you pick out your cooling methods, if any. Also, I'd recommend some kind of weight reduction to the rotating mass of the motor. Light weight flywheel and pulleys will help reduce drivetrain stress from the added weight of the supercharger. Its not needed, but you can feel the difference.
There will also be more heat in the engine bay, so in a hot environment or tracking, you'll want a vented hood so you don't blow a coil pack.

And if you're running a oil return or oil catch can, you'll want to run a vent to atmosphere catch can to prevent oil from being sucked into the intake under high vacuum (more needed with the 69mm pulley.)

You'll want to get it tuned, as mentioned. If you're in the North West, @VitViper (vit tuned) would be my reccomendation.

Other parts to look into:
-cold air intake (I run the perrin Big MAF)
-header (I'm soon to be running the tomei EL)
-oil catch can



Other then that, welcome to the club! (Or soon to be... Hopefully)
