I think you might have to keep your stock intake ----an aftermarket intake is not compatible with the SC---not sure though

I think you may be alright because I believe the stock air box and tube are used with the s/c

I don't have this kit on my Tundra, but I did have one on my last Toyota truck. From what I could tell it did little or nothing for power gain, but made lots of intake noise. I've been told that this noise is very prominent when used in front of a blower, and sounds somewhat like an angry electric drill.
On the other hand they look really cool under the hood, so it's all what you want. Wes

250 bucks for a couple horsepower in a range where youll rarely use them isnt worth it. if you want the noise, just cut a hole in the front of your airbox, and take out that little tube that goes to your (restrictive) wheel well.

The more you add onto your truck, the more you notice the intake. I took of my FIPK and didn't notice much, then added an exhaust (see signature). After a few days, I put back on the FIPK and noticed a difference. The airbox mod though is a lot cheaper.

keep the stock intake on, the tundras computer is very sensitive and you don't want to take chances for 3hp at 5000rpm with a $5000 charger. You will lose torque with the intake kit.

NO!
The FIPK is not compatible with the supercharger.

Good with an exhaust and headers, but causes confusion with the supercharger and burns out rear o2 sensors too.

so if you are going to supercharge, stick with the stock box.

Go with a NOS kit from nitrousfed. Thats really the only other way to get more horsepower, or you could bore your engine.

I use the K&N FIPK, works fine in my truck, probably doesn't add much power, but sure sounds neat!
I believe the K&N could be used with the supercharger, may be a matter of a slight modification, but, when you already have a power adder like a blower, unless you need to remove a restriction on the air path, the modified stock unit should work just fine. Speaking just for me, I will run the supercharger, some head work, a cam change and the K&N and just sort the whole thing out.
