Forget about brand names. Do thorough search on different forms of superchargers to best suit your needs...and then go turbo.

P.S. my car is stock at this point beside the facorty Bullitt upgrades...

Yep. My biggest recommendation is to make sure you have traction!! When my S197 was all stock on the factory pirellis, it spun in first, second, and going into third gear. I can't imagine adding boost to that. It would be like driving in the snow!!

I've since added UPR Pro Street suspension with Nitto NT05s and it made a huge HUGE improvement in traction. (both in a straight line, AND in the corners) With a supercharger, I'd say a suspension/tire setup like mine is absolutely necessary!

Also, on a side note, I'm partial to ATI ProChargers.

LOL! Neither my tuner or builder will let me go turbo until I go auto (when I say let, not recommended). As for SC I am very happy with my Saleen, but on a built motor its just not enough, but ran mid 11's all day with a stock motor.
