Default SVT Supercharger for 08 F150

Ok so I have a customer looking to have me install this supercharger (http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9358) and I was wondering if anyone has, or been lucky enough, to put one on. How did it perform? Any issues with installation? Any hidden parts Ford Racing doesn't include? I narrowed it down to this kit from, instead of Rousch or Saleen for price and performance. The SVT Kit was not only cheaper but the RWHP numbers are greater. Thanks, any info will be nice.

Talked to my dealer about that kit when I was talking about upgrade discounts, $5k plus hourly install price seems a bit much for my wallet.

Whipple's seem to be one of the best routes if you go the supercharged way. And since that's a whipple you'll be set.

Is there any issues with blowing trannys when going with a blower set up? How do the engines hold up to the power? I'm looking at one of these units and was just curious to hear what people that have had them have to say?
