Default Supercharger?

Scenario:
Stock 302 block w/ forged internals, reliefed pistons, trick flow street heat kit (heads, stage 1 cam, intake), full exhaust and supporting fuel and ignition mods for a s/c, which would you pick given money is not a major concern. Please dont respond with any turbo remarks. Thanks in advance, and any reasoning or rational towards your choice would be appreciated as well.

I would go with the Kenne Bell. All that low end torque and it looks really cool on top of a 5.0.

Are you guys picking Kenne Bell due to the low end torque and wide powerband efficiency of the twin screw? Give some "whys" . Thanks in advance

Hhhmmm, loaded question...
Isn't it great to be able to pick from such a large, diverse selection of "superchargers"?
You have to ask yourself what you want to do with the car. If it's a street car (readrimarily street driven w/occassional strip duty) then anyone of those blowers will certainly satisfy your need and make significant use out of those mods. But from the list of motor mods, appears to be a mild street build that has the potential to easily run 11’s at 116-118mph or better depending boost, suspension, weight, etc.

Here's a very good write up on the explanation between a roots, screw and centrifugal superchargers.

It comes down to when you want boost and how much you want.

I’ve never installed a KB screw, so I can’t comment on that or its tuning.
However, Vortech SQ(S,A)-Trims are easy to install and tune, relatively speaking.
