RE: need help on Superchargers/Turbos
Modular Powerhouse has good blower and turbo kits. I got my blower kit from them and had them tune it and my car runs awesome! The turbo kits cost an arm and a leg but it would be cool if you had the money. They suggest the paxton air to air intercooler with most of their setups. check them out modularpowerhouse.com

RE: need help on Superchargers/Turbos
The real answer is there is no right answer...let me put it to ya this way
Supercharger:
Twin - Kenny Brown, Whipple, Eaton: called positive displacement, make X amount of boost all the time, really fun, makes a lot of power, awesome whining sound
Centrifugal- vortech, procharger, paxon: build up boost over the RPM range, easy on parts, great for drag racing, a little quieter with a slight whistle
Turbo: able to make a whole lot of power, a little expensive to do, builds boost over the RPM range like Centrifugal, a whole lot of piping/tuning and you might as well get an intercooler
Intercoolers:
Air to Air - Use it if your making less than 12psi of boost, cools it enough for daily driving and not as complicated
Air to Water - Can cool a whole lot more than air to air, but really only more efficient for 12+ psi
People are gonna argue this back and forth, there's already a lot of info on the site, search for it...in the end you'll pick what is best for you based on what your looking for

RE: need help on Superchargers/Turbos
nicely put. i saw an article in MMFF involving a 98 cobra, he had a twin setup and he was making 980whp. in the article they said that a busa w/ nitrous got beat by him. they also said that it was tuned for daily driving so it wasnt horrible to drive. let me look up the article and maybe i can get you some more info on his setup
