ups and downs of a supercharger

I'm debatin on gettin a supercharger, but i'm just not sure what all the ups and downs would be, besides the added power. would it fit in naturally with the motor or would adjustments need to be made besides like exhaust? will the compression increase or decrease? what will it do to the life of the motor, just general question like that. any and all help would be appreciated and taken into consideration

Thanks a bunch

It's kind of hard to say.......as everybody treats their car differently.

Would it affect the longevity of the motor? probably......... you're adding more stress to the engine .

I may be an exception to the rule as i have over 150,000 original miles on my IROC.....with stock engine, stock trans and stock rear running 13PSI off a P600 Procharger.

I'll let other people elaborate.
