??? Kleemann V8 Supercharger ???

I am a newbie to this "Tuning Forum" so excuse me for asking all these stupid questions..... I thought I would never be posting here, but after going onto Kleemann's offical website and all I can say is

For those who had Kleemann supercharger:
-Did you guys encounter any problems w/ the supercharger?
-Is there an authorized Kleemann installation facility near So. Cal?
-How long does the installation take?
-Does the SC'ed engine require more transmission works to be done in order to take on the added power/torque?
-Do dealers give you any troubles when your car is being serviced?

and can you guys hook me up???

Problems: some, but all were taken care of in timely fashion by Kleemann and evosport.

Dealers: About 3 or 4 in the SoCal area.

Installation: Mine took about 2 weeks, cuz the evosport tech was busy doing other installs, repairing Ford, etc.. Should take about 4 days including diagnostic/burn-in runs and what not.

Tranny upgrade: Not needed... (yet). But I got mine tranny replaced just for the heck of utilizing warranty.

Dealer troubles: Not if you take it to the right place.

Hook ups: As in discounts from MSRP? Good luck. Try paying cash.

I heard that Kleemann doesn't allow any discounts off their products.

Although I am sure some authorized dealers will give a little discount if you buy a few things like the Supercharger, brakes, wheels, suspension, steeringwheel, body kit, exhaust, full alcantara interior, speedometer, wood shifter, and headers :p
