Default new car!!

just got another pony to add to the stable. picked it up from my bosses nephew, who had no clue how to handle it (his parents got it for his 16th birthday). its another 1995 GT, about 121xxx miles on it 5spd.
i just got transfered to our new shop and got a decent jump in pay so im looking into building up something a little different (before it gets too late and the baby takes all my time).

ive been addicted to NA for the longest time, but now i want the scratch the boost itch.
the car came with a 331 motor in it, dished pistons, about 8.87:1 compression. it has a SCAT kit with a 28.2 oz crank (forged), and H beams. ARP main studs, both decks milled evenly.
im thinking about adding a Vortech V-1 series blower at around 10lbs...

here begin the questions:
am i better of with an S trim or a T trim? S trim is a lot cheaper, and i plan on probably using meth injection (if i need it. figure better safe than sorry though).
can i get away with a 255lph in tank http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS and 30# injectors.

the rest of the build will look like this:
TFS fast cast heads
COMP cam either an FS288R solid roller (244/244 @ .050") or an XE282HR hyd roller.
TFS R series with 75mm TB opening.
BBK longtubes 1 5/8 primaries (will these choke the engine?).
a built T5 and some 3.73's

if you guys see any problems or have some suggestions let me know. like i said, im completely ignorant about forced induction. thanks guys!

boost brothers turbo kits are going for 1800 on ebay brand new right now then you need injectors 42# min , fuel pump i mean that engine is made to already take more boost than 10 # i would run 15 # on a turbo setup

yeah all my friends have sn95s have superchargers and they said if they could do it again they would turbo their cars i mean you do what you want but i think you could get more power for less you know the sc kit is like 3 grand think of that extra grand or so you could dump into the car!

careful with the build, you may boost yourself right out of the stock block
