On average, how much pecentage gains will you see from a supercharger?

Where can I find a body of a 2005 ford expedition?

Roughly speaking 1 atmosphere is about 15 lbs.
That means that a normally aspirated engine with 0 lbs of vacuum (wide open throttle) sucks in air with a pressure of 15 lbs. To find the increase with a forced induction system, take the induction pressure divided by 15, then multiply it by the std hp rating.
An example is a 7.5 lbs of boost system. It would produce 7.5/15 or .5 increase in power ( and fuel consumption). To be clear that means .5 plus the original power, so 1.5 or 150%.

depends on the car and the supercharger. but you will see a very noticable difference.

What is the 'overdrive' button that appears in the car?

Definately you'll see a noticable difference. You're generally looking at about a 25-40% gain. (That's alot!)
It depends on how the car is set up beforehand and if anything else has been done to the motor to enhance the effects of a supercharger, i.e. High performance intake, and exhaust (including manifold/header) as well as possibly lowering the compression of the engine. If you plan on simply strapping a supercharger onto a stock motor, you will not be able to run the boost much over 5psi. However, if you lower the compression down to 7:1, or at least 8:1, you can get that boost up to well over 10psi without risk of destroying the engine. The decreased compression will increase the effects of turbo lag a touch, however the supercharger will be able to do its job to a much higher degree.
Hope this helps... goodluck
