Supercharger kits are available from a variety of companies, however I have heard that Vortec and Paxton are the best two to look at. Will it damage your engine? Most likely no, depending on what kind of boost you are running. Engines that run a high psi level usually need to be upgraded to handle the extra power, along with the other parts of your powertrain (the tranny and rear can only handle so much :P ). A light pressure unit will probably bump you up between 50-75 horsepower (higher pressures will put you into the 100-150+ added horsepower range). If you stick with a low pressure supercharger, im sure you will have no problem showing Mustangs your *** at the stoplight :-)
