Default Superchargers, what are the best kits for performance and reliability?

I am thinking about possibly going FI, and I am wondering what the best superchargers are for the Z right now. I am looking to keep my Z as reliable as possible (since it is my daily driver), which is why I am leaning towards supercharger over a turbo kit. Specs for my Z are in my sig.

so 7 lbs of boost from a SC differs from 7 lbs of boost from a turbo how? reliability difference between a SC and a turbo is a joke

it's not the psi, it's how it comes on

obviously a vortech or procharger that ramps up to 7psi reaching it at redline will stress the engine less than a turbo hitting 7 psi at 3200 rpms and holding it until redline. Hitting high psi earlier in the powerband brings on higher peak tq numbers which is where the peak cylinder pressure is

Alot of people on this site have Vortechs and love them. Reliability is all in good tuning and prudent supporting mods.

Vortech. Most upgradability with good reliability if installed properly as with any kit.
