Default Thinking of supercharging my 05 A4 z51 thoughts?

As title states. Car has 100,000 miles on it but is in perfect shape and motor in great conditiong "compression test". Car currently has longtube headers no cat and mbrp mufflers, cold air intake and Tuned. Im really wanting to supercharge this thing, nothing crazy would like to make 450-480 rwhp. I know thats pretty easy to get to with just about any supercharged kit and good tune. My main concern is this damn 4l65e transmission. Which as of now is in great shape shifts perfect just changed fluid and filter and all looked good. Will this transmission hold my goals? I dont beat the car to death just do a couple pulls each time I have it out but just usually 1st n 2nd gear thou. Any thoghts are greatly appreciated.

E force or the a&a is what I was thinking about. Im more concerned about the transmission being able to handle the extra power?

Do it, you will be fine. Worst case scenario you might need need a trans rebuilt.

Call and ask around, some places will give you a better deal if you call and talk to them personally

This is my worry without the S/C. I have the same mods as the OP with 85K miles and I have considered adding the ECS setup since riding along in Nosferatu's Corvette. I'll be watching this thread to learn what the general concensus is on this subject.
