+1 on the non-self contained ones.

self contained you just have to change the case oil at certain intervals. i can't think of them off of the top of my head.

plus with an s/c you have the option of upping the boost for more power (within reason of course), while you have a set power level with the heads and cam.

self contained is pretty much a gimmick, a tapped unit is better. I would go with the blower... more power, and there is no way to know the long term reliability of the trick flows yet, I would guess as good as stock, but no way to prove it

I too am a fan of being N/A and whoopin on people with F/I. Beat the other day a 2002 GT with the roush charger, I did spray. I would say cams and heads. They will be more reliable because your not going to an agressive cam. Seems to me you want stage 2's. That will not compromise reliability. F/I if tuned right will be just fine too. The way i look at it 2K heads, 700 cams, 400 nitrous, 3100 dollars in parts to run low low 11's high 10's. Just my opinion. I have decided that im going to do a 5.4L, stage 2 cams, TFS heads, and a shot of nitrous. Good luck man. I just dont like superchargers.

I too like the fact that you can do a full HCI with nitrous, and still be cheaper than a good blower setup.
