Tell me about superchargers.

I've been poking around at 4.6 4v Mustangs for a while. I'm probably pick one up at some point when the time is right.

It seems like the easy path to power is bolting on a supercharger. I'm interested in a centrifugal (as opposed to a roots style) unit.

I'm curious as to how a supercharger changes the feel of the engine. Does the engine rev as freely? Is there increased engine drag when you are off the throttle? Any thoughts on roots vs. centrifugal?

Any input on the matter appreciated, but I'm really looking for input from people that have driven/owned vehicles with them installed.
