Default STUPID QUESTION ABOUT SUPERCHARGING

I got a 95 mustang. I've got Cold air intake which will have to come out, 73 mm Maf, 70mm throttle bodie, intake manifold, 24 lb injectors, Alum heads, e-303 cam, 1.7 roller rockers, Shorty headers, off-road x-pipe, Cat back exhaust, 3.73's, and a performance chip. Also a bunch of suspension stuff but I don't think that matters for this question. Now my tranny is still stock and may be barely able to handle what I've got now from what I hear. Now if I put a supercharger on would I have to switch the tranny or since I don't race a whole lot will it hold out? Just curious, want to know my next step. I just bought a house and can't afford to do both right away. Thanks

Put on the blower, worry about the tranny later. Just dont abuse it in first everyday.
