MPH Paxton Novi-2000 Mongoose kit FTW. Thats what I would do if I started it all over.
edit: if you never plan on getting a forged bottom end, then go Procharger P-1sc. You can pick one up for a few hundred more than the Mogoose kit from JMSchip and it comes intercooled. But if you even have the slightest chance of building the bottom end, then don't waste your time with an entry level blower. Look into the Novi-2000, Procharger D-1sc, or the Vortech T-trim. They won't be too much more to upgrade the kits and you'll be much happier down the road.

You don't have to use that intercooler. Many people have had success with some nice front mounted bar/plate style intercoolers on ebay for a few hundred. There will probably be some modification required for a universal kit, but it will save you a ton of money over the paxton intercooler.

+1, if you dont want to spend the money on the paxton your only other option is to fab one up. I bought the paxton, and every pipe fit perft with absolutely no fabbing, but thats what you pay for. Like said, if you are just looking to max out your bottom end, then any blower will do the job. But if youre looking to eventually build it up, go with the novi 2000, D1sc, or T-trim. all will put you where you want to be at.

Mongoose kit from MPH FTW! I love vortech buy my bearings have gone bad twice which required a minor rebuild. It was under warranty but I was out of a car for 2 weeks each time. You can run more boost with the Novi 2000.
