Jay,
This is a huge subject and a lot could be written on it in this thread. I suggest however , that you go out and buy a book titled "Street Supercharging" by Pat Ganahl. It will discuss and answer many questions that you have probably not thought about yet.
I and I'm sure others with supercharger experience would be happy to help you out with advice along the way to an a$$-kicking blown engine and drivetrain.
