Is this possible? Only thing im worried about is the tranny kickdown. I had enough trouble just putting an edelbrock carb on it. Would I have to fab up a custom kickdown rod and linkage or do they make em?

What year of car and what blower are you considering. Will it have fuel injection or carburetor?
69 mustang, carbed. I havent look at superchargers in awhile. Wont be until next year when I do this.
Its hard to decide too because they dont list them as year or car specific. Wish they did. I know they are not that common to have which makes it even harder to find someone with an educated opinion on what to get.
First you need to decide on whether you want a Roots, centrifugal or twin screw type of blower. Then you can find a kit and work on the details. Expect to do a lot of fabrication work to make it right and look good. With a Roots or twin screw you will need to have it sticking out of the hood. With a centrifugal you can keep the stock hood. The key it to keep your compression low, deliver plenty of fuel to the combustion chambers and avoid detonation at all costs. After that it is a piece of cake.

Ive just always wanted a mad max blower stickin out of the hood. Thats the goal.
Then you eed to decide on a Roots or twin screw type of blower. Twin screws are much more efficient (i.e. makes more power per pound of boost) than a Roots but are also more expensive.
oooh. The here's the one you want :):
They even have a 351W kit ;).
