Jackson Racing Supercharger advice and installation

I'm very new to this forum so I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong section. Here's my question, I'm thinking of buying a VTEC Civic and a Jackson Racing B16 supercharger. I was wondering if installing this requires a lot of skill and experience with these engines? I was also wondering what I will need to install the supercharger (or anything that I will need to change on the car)? Would I be able to install it in my garage (I have many tools, I just don't have anything too fancy like air tools)?

Is there a reason you rather supercharge over turbo? From a cost to performance standpoint, you may find turbocharging a better option. A majority of FI Civic's are turbocharged, so you'll find better options and support with that over a supercharger.

But, assuming you bought a full supercharger kit, you'll need fuel management (injectors and possibly a fuel pump depending on your setup) and most importantly, a good tune.
