I have a stock 2007 Dodge Charger R/T and would like to add a supercharger onto it. I don't reallly know a whole lot about what i would need other than a supercharger lol. So my question is what else would i need to add to the vehicle other than a supercharger? I hear upgrading fuel injectors is a must as well. What kind of superchargers are you guys running? and what else would i need other than a supercharger? As of right now the vehicle is 100 percent stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jesus,
On a Gen III, you'll easily spend close to $7,000 for a twin screw (roots style) supercharger. If you were to have a shop install it for you, labor costs would likely be pretty high, too.
Centrifugal superchargers are a bit cheaper.
Personally, I'd recommend that you take your vehicle over to a performance shop or two and talk to them about what kind of driving experience you want. Hemis are popular engines, and there are a lot of shops that love working on them. A performance shop should be able to discuss options and estimate prices to get the oomph you want.
Racer and Iowan,
Looks like you can pick up a Gen III crate motor for about $4,500 these days.
But there is also a used Viper V-10 I saw for about the same at:

Iowan,
Funny, after I looked up some videos on YouTube I realized the V-10 sounded kind of disappointing. Even with big name exhaust kits, they fall a little short of expectations.
I would disagree that the newer hemis sound bad. I like their noise a lot. This is why I replaced my intake baffles (purely for sound). But that old carb rush of air and that bassy stutter from older, bigger engines is something special.
If we're talking pure noise, a roots supercharger winding up on a healthy 440 is America's real anthem.
