Anyone supercharge their v8?

I'm seriously considering bolting this onto my 04 N62B44.

ESS N62B44 545i/645Ci TVS2 Supercharger System - ESS Tuning | BMW Tuning Parts | BMW Racing, Tuning, Aftermarket, Performance Parts | Engine Power Chips | Performance Upgrades Chip

I'm assuming there will be numerous issues to contend with including but not limited to;

* Gearbox strength
* X-Drive Clutch capabilities
* Engine Mounts
* Chasis Strengthening
* Drive shafts in general
* Air intake and filter modifications
* Bonnet clearance
* Front mount heat exchanger clearance and disadvantages

My main consideration is the gearbox - I don't really want to put the additional 80ft pounds of torque on the gearbox to have it shit itself all over the road

So anyone out there put a supercharger on their v8 that can give me any tips or anyone see any issue with doing this?

Thanks in advance
Andrew
