why did you decide on your form of FI over the other option?

Who's bragging? Only speaking the truth.
Its doesnt take more mods. I slapped on a V3 vortech, plumbed up a fuel system, and ran a UTEC. As basic and easy to do as you can get.
Boost is a measure of restriction, not a measure of power. High boost, low boost, its all relative and worthless in any intelligent conversation.
I'm glad I had a supercharged car, and I'm glad its turbocharged now. But on a stock block, it really doesnt matter.

yes after talking with multiple forum members and other research i picked up tougelabs v2 kit with mutliple diff pulleys, momentum intercooler, synapse bov , walbro pump, rc 550 inj, and a aem wideband along with this i am tuned on uprev have test pipes, hks rep duals with magnaflow X pipe, plenum spacer depending on which pulley i end up deciding to throw on (prob the 3.12 for the time being untill a oil cooler/return line kit come around)

You act like 400ft/lbs or close to that is the norm for a bolt on S/C kit and it's not. Your post is misleading. That's like me saying every 500whp Z runs low 11s look at how true that is.
There is most certainly a difference within most bolt on setups with turbos having a clear advantage in peak TQ and a better overall powerband.

hence why we have a forum. to learn from others

I don't own either but have been thinking about the same question. Here are the advantages of each in my mind (probably wrong on some):
Supercharger
- less expensive to install (especially compared to twin turbos)
- more reliable since install is less complex
- easier and quicker to install
- less lag than turbo
- no special shutdown procedures required
- charge temperature is lower
- save money on intake mods since they don't help
Turbo
- bigger top-end gains especially hp
- quieter than supercharger
- better gas mileage than SC
- higher efficiency because of no continual parasitic drag
- potentially less stress on engine since boost is not continuous
- better gains on lower rpms - torque and hp
- save money on headers since they don't help

also charge temp is cooler with a turbo with the same boost level since its more effecient
