Default mimimum required mods with blower?

like the title says.Would it be wise to plop a blower on a car that has ,say only headers and whatever comes after that to help things flow better? for an auto.

Depends on the kit. With the Saleen kit, you can just slap the blower on and flash their tune and your good.

If you overlay a Paxton dyno graph with a Twin Screw supercharger, the twin screw will make more power below 5000 RPM running 8 PSI, vs the Paxton's 11+ peak.
basically means less you can run less PSI on a twin screw, and get more usable power.

Its all preference. Most,NOT ALLprefer the twin screw applications for fun street machines. Others prefer the linear curve of the centris. Centris are also cheaper, so more consider these kits for this reason alone.

Keeping aside of any full SC kit... I'd get:

1.- Catch Can
2.- Prothane motor mounts
3.- Gauges (A/F, tranny temp (if automatic), fuel preasure or oil preasure)

i was thinking the same thing but doesn't having gears make it obsolete? meaning that the gearing
if short enough should make it not matter so much because it'll run out of gear sooner,unless with something a little longer.
