Is installing a supercharger for average do it yourselfer?
I'm considering getting a Roush or Kenne Bell supercharger for my '10 GT. I have decent mechanical skills. Is this a project for a do it yourselfer? I would like to hear from you if you have done an install yourself. Would you do it all over again or would you leave it to the pro's?

If you can read instructions and turn a wrench, you can install a supercharger. You just need a decent set of tools and some spare time.
My review of my whipple installation process: Often tedious, never impossible.

Pretty straight forward. Just following directions. Nothing really hard. Just tedious. I installed my E-force last weekend and now just waiting on the competition cold air intake to come in off back order. This waiting is more difficult than the install...

When it comes to installing just about anything it usually ends up revolving around how good the instructions are. Detailed diagrams and pictures that leave nothing to the imagination are a huge plus. Minimal errata. If you have that then it's probably pretty easy. Just takes patience and a good set of tools.
