Guys, we all were noobs at one point or another.
Madix, you need to define your goals and then find the kit that fits them the most. There are differences between the driving characteristics of any kit, be that a ST, TT, centriugal blower, roots type blower...
Once you know what you want start reading up.
To get a fairly decent side-by-side FI compares, find and read these magazines:
The issue with turbo shootout of the Sport Z magazine (recent). It gives you the differences between the Greddy, SFR, APS, PE, JWT and Turbonetics turbo setups.
Same magazine, issue from couple of years ago, gives same story with 3 superchargers (mind you that at that time engine/fuel managemnet system for the Z were not as advance as now, so it is reflected). And for your own sake, don't start asking about the Dreamworkes blower you'll an ad for in there... Disregard it, period. Trust me...
Speed magazine from about half a year ago compared JWT TT, Greddy TT, Stillen and Vortech blowers on dragstrip, track and something else...
Happy reading....

Seriously.................................seriously.
Actually, Hot Wheelz speedshop (NY headquaters of Dreamworkes racing) has burned down, most likely in a freak accident
Nick and Goran are in a long vacation in carribean... Is that where they are launching the twin SC program from?

We were in the experimental stages of tuning the twin supercharger kit but I was running an open exhaust and with the car running so rich we managed to set the place ablaze. Unfortunately, the dyno would not register over 1200rwhp so we had to shut down at only 2500rpm which really sucks considering the new head/cam work lets us rev to 12,000rpm. The last time we tried tuning the car we had similar results but that was back in Chicago a few years back. Our group also takes full responsibility for the California grass fires. Doing donuts out in the fields seemed like a good idea at the time.
But jokes aside, I was customer of Hot wheels for about a year. I must have left
al lest 5G (got my Brembo GT, rear brake upgrade, Injen SS and Hotchkis sways...). They tech were not bad, but I was very reluctant to commit to their blower, simply b/c every time I showed up there it was "2-3 weeks away from release...". That made me cautious. Besides, even at my the noob status, I did get the impression that the kit is way to complex to produce for the selling price they have advertised. I would feel sorry for them if the would have come clean and refunded the $$ when they relized that the project is doomed. Instead they persisted on trying to squeeze as much $$ from it as possible. @$$holes...

Look at the various specifications of each forced induction kit and narrow your choices.
Price, performance goals, location, and driving characteristics will help narrow your choices on any level.
I would first start out with choosing a turbocharger or supercharger.
If supercharger, decide on centrifugal or roots-type.
If turbocharger, decide on single or twin.

Wow! The FI section really is more harsh than any other section of the forum. 2 pages of degrading a newbie is kinda much don't ya think? Too bad we don't have a flame section to move all the posts gone wrong.
