No, but added pressure=more heat...so, in any hard use, you'll end up with
drastically higher under hood temps, power fade and, ultimately, head gasket
issues. That's why most all of the open track Shelby club guys no longer run
superchargers (even with intercoolers fitted) on track cars. If all I wanted
was to blast through the gears once in a while, a supercharger would be fun,
but for how I use my Tiger, it doesn't make sense, to me. YMMV
