Default Edelbrock Supercharger

I've decided to have a certified shop install an Edelbrock supercharger:
1 has anyone done this?
2 Is Edelbrock the way to go?
3 Any recommended shops in the DMV that can do the work?
4 How much should I expect to pay for labor?
5 Are there any threads on this subject in the forum that you can point me to?
Any information would be very helpful....not trying to step out on blind faith!

I have done it and never looked back. The install was done by an Edelbrock approved shop. Looks great and the power is amazing
PLUS the warranty gives me great piece of mind. I have 2 years left on my factory warranty. The unit is quiet but you can hear is when the exhaust is in stealth mode. I also have a Borla X-Pipe and it really screams when the exhaust is in Track mode. I find my self hitting the rev limiter if I don't watch the RPM's climb. Summer coolant Temps have been just a tick above typical temps before the upgrade. No other issues to report.

Am I understanding that the installation of a supercharger in this manner will not void the factory warranty?

It will most certainly void the factory warranty but Edelbrock and a few other suppliers will give you their own powertrain warranty.
