Message:
What kind of changes do you need to do after you install a supercharger? Any computer mods or anything like that?

With superchargers, you need mild ignition timing. In this case, the stock PCM is preferable over the Mopar Performance model. If you go wild enough, you'd eventually need to move to the HP computer, maybe even a custom unit, but stock otherwise, I'd stick with a 180 degree thermostat and fatter rear tires.

Message:
When running a supercharger you would want to retard your timing incremental with boost pressure. MSD and Crane make units that do this. The additional heat of the air going through the supercharger wants to cause pre-detonation. If you hear pinging get off the gas IMMEDIALETLY or you will be replacing head gaskets in no time at all. 3-4 degrees of retard per lb of boost is typical.
