I didn't realize this until I went FI. Say you are in 5th gear 80mph Auto Mode and you floor it, there is like a delay as I believe it is the clutch slipping and can trigger a DCT overheat problem. It's almost like the car gets confused when dropping too many gears. Need to make sure you are in the proper gear before going WOT.
It's not really talked about much as I don't think too many SC guys even drive in auto. It isn't a kit specific issue as I believe M33 wrote up a really good list of "dos and donts" for supercharger owners which mentioned this and other common stuff. Search around for the list as it is quite informative.
