Default Vortech Supercharger?

Whats up guys. After doing some research, I think I am ready to do a supercharger to my car. First off, what do you guys think of this supercharger here http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...tegory_Code=SS
Second, here is a list of my current mods, do you guys think s/c my car is even the right route to go, i have a 1997 GT, auto...
SLP Longtubes, slp o/r xpipe, slp loudmouth catback, frpp 4.10 gears, bbk cai, steeda udp, accufab 70mm t/b and plenum, transgo shift kit
Third, does the kit i posted include everything i will need to make the complete install? I just want to make sure i am making the right decision on the kind of s/c and to get everything done right on the first try...thanks guys, let me know what you think

If you have the money, a supercharger is a great way to go. I don't know what kind of numbers you'll see without a pi headswap. You may want to consider doing that first.

If you go with radials or slicks, you may need to beef up the rear end, but I'm not 100% sure.

If you are putting 350+ to the ground and you hook up well, I'm fairly sure the stock rear end may explode after awhile.

I think I decided to go the Mongoose Kit route now...it includes everything needed for the install for almost the same price. Does anybody know the difference between the SQ and S trim s/c's?? I was planning on going with the SQ trim...

My goal was to only get 300 rwhp...so i think this should do more than the trick. I'm only a senior in highschool so it should be plenty to compete around here. Can Anybody else chime in on the difference between the S trim and the SQ?? Also, hwo does that Mongoose kit look from MPH?? That's everything I'll need for the complete install right?

Another quick question...how many pounds of boost would one of these s/cs come with?? And would you recommend buying a smaller pulley or a powerpipe right off the bat? or should i just install the Vortech and later on down the road add this stuff?
