I was wondering how long it should take a professional to install one of the more common supercharger kits on the mustang? Can it be done in a day?

Approximately 10 hours....as long as they take their time and do it correctly. I'd say it could be done faster if you found someone that does them on a regular basis. I have about 9 in mine...with about another 1-1.5 hours worth of work left.

took me and my brother 8 hours to install my intercooled procharger kit. first time installers and backyard mechanics. pro's should have it done in at least 7 hours.

I also forgot to ask in the first post, how much should the install cost?

Where is the intercooler mounted? My transmission cooler is mounted on front/lower drivers side of my condenser - just wondered if it would be in the way of the intercooler.

Does $900 seem to high for someone to charge to put a supercharger on. Plus he said he takes 3 days to make sure "everything" is done right?

$400 to give you an idea. $900 seems a little high. For a shop that doesnt do many of them, then maybe 3 days or if something goes wrong.

$900 with a tune is pretty reasonable, cheap in fact. I would guess a shop should charge around $650 for an install only... 3 days is also reasonable. Remember that most shops aren't just sitting around waiting for your car, they have other cars to work on. Most of the time, they will prep the car on one day, install the components on the next day, and tune it, the third day... while working on other cars.

If a shop comes at you with a quote of $400, they either have it down to a science, are broke and in need of quick cash, or have never done it before and don't know what they're getting into.

Like I said, expect $650 for the install and an additional $500 for a good tune (chip included).
