Best Overall Supercharger or Turbo??
 
Ok I know there's been talk about which supercharger is the best, and i've talked to shops about it... But for you guys with s/c'sand for the people who know a lot about them; I want to get something that gets me good power, at least 420, something that won't break (or break a lot I should say), something that's not going to tear up my car, and something that's not going to have me always in the shop. I've been looking into the Prochargers, Vortec, and Saleen... So from your guy's info/experience which is the BEST?

Go with Saleen. If you have it installed by a licensed installer your warranty is still valid. You can safely run around 430-440rwhp, and once you get around the 450rwhp range you may blow a rod. Other SC's are great but Saleen is the best IMO.

I have really enjoyed my Saleen. I like the OEM looks and it makes great power for a "street" blower. I have had zero issues after 1 year, 10,000+ miles and 75+ passes at the track. All the blowers are a kick in the pants. The centri's like the Vortech and Procharger have different characteristics than the twin screws. A high quality tune is a must to keep your engine healthy. There is no one better with Saleen setup than JDM Engineering. 500+ Saleen blowers running around with their setup/tunes with zero engine failures to date. That's pretty strong!

Some one correct me if I'm wrong but..I dont think you can with the Saleen considering its a Twin Screw S/C and the Procharger is a centrifrugal, almost like a turbo.

RE: Best Overall Supercharger
 
So if/when I supercharge, What other mods should be taken in order to make sure I won't blow my engine?
