With a 331 short block, forged internals 9:1, trick flow street top end kit, tf stage one cam, 75mm throttle body, 76 mass air meter/inlet tube, magnaflow x pipe and bullet mufflers, etc.... (daily driver-not very miles driven)

Eventually want to supecharge but not sure which supercharger to go with. Which way would you go out of these choices??

Vortech v-1, found a bunch of places for under 1800 bucks plus the rebate. I know with a 5-6 psi kit, I wont see much with a stroker. So would for sure get at least a power pipe and maybe a different pulley. Would this kit make good power? This car is mainly for the street and daily driven maybe at the most 15-20 miles a day.

Or, i'm looking at the new paxton sl. A little more money at about 2200 bucks. Like the idea of no tapping into the oil pan, etc. Again, would add a power pipe tp to the set up. Anyone have a paxton sl? any good? Do you think it would be worth the extra 400 bucks over the v-1?

Or, find a used kenne bell. Ive been looking around online and it seems like for the street car, this is a great way to go. How well, would a kb work on a 331 stroker? Other problem is, actually finding a kb for sale and for a good price. Pros and cons of this setup?

I was thinking with a stock block 331, I would only want to run around around 8 psi? How reliable would a s/c'ed 331 be? What ever supercharged I get will be going on my current engine which is a fairly stock 302 with a few bolt ons. The 331is in the works.... Or, do you think I should just wait?

I just supercharged my 331 with a Paxton 1220 SL and an Anderson power pipe
. Easy to install. Haven't run it yet. Hoping for low 11's this season with some more suspension upgrades.
