Supercharger with a stock drive train?

I am having a Magnacharger installed on my LS3 next week. I will not race this car, but I will "jump on it" from time to time, but mostly from a roll. I will beat it up for the first couple of test drives, but in the long run I won't be doing many 4000 rpm launches, burn outs, or full throttle power shifts.

Therefore, I have no plans to upgrade any power train components, i.e., clutch, axles, suspension, or tires. It is my understanding that the OEM clutch is probably the weakest link in this drive train and I will drive it accordingly.

If you are supercharged and running a stock drive train, what were your experiences? Any wheel hop and under what conditions. Did you break anything? Is it a given that I am going to break something? What power train upgrades have you done?
