Post Superchargers and head gaskets


I recently ordered a Powerdyne unit for my truck. Has anyone had any problems w/ the head gaskets after installation?

Thanks for your reply. It is a basic 6spi unit. I am aware of the fuel reccomendation for the unit. Has anyone tried mid-grade (89 octane)? With fuel prices again rising, every penny counts.
