all SC's have had their share of problems (i have heard the kenny bell has had more of their share)
powerdyne has their kit that does not require you to tap into the oilpan and the install is pretty easy (though i'v been told)
i beleve all superchargers can produce more boost than the engine can take, by just switching the pully

Powerdyne = Internal Belt: Much quieter than internal gears but can break - no oiling system required. Runs slightly cooler than the internal gear driven models. (Powerdyne has a gear driven model as well.)
Paxton/Vortech/ATI = Internal Gear Drive with external oiling system (older Paxtons used a self-contained oiling system). Runs a bit hotter than the belt driven models but can take a lot of abuse. Costs about $500-$1000 more than the Powerdynes (model depending).
Personally, i've had my Powerdyne on the V6 for over a year now at 9-10# boost without any issues. There's two others in my neck of the woods with Powerdynes as well...both running 9# boost and no problems either. Yes, Powerdyne had a bad rap for the belt-drive system from the Mustang/GM crowd but this was in part due to the users changing the factory pulley to a 13# pulley...this spun the impeller too quick and broke belts/bearings/impellers.
