Question LS9 SC, Edelbrock SC or F1-C Procharger?

I have a Nissan 350Z that I'm converting to a LSX as we speak. I' am looking to go FI but Im not sure which rout I should take. I have an LS7 block,C5R heads and a Beck sheetmetal intake that I was planning on using. If I were to go that rout I would like to use the F1-C but Im not sure on how it would fit? If I use the F1-c it seems that I might have to use the new camaro's brackets. In the other hand I can always use the LS7 block with lets say Mast heads or trick's and use the LS9 or Edel's SC. My goal is to dyno 800rwhp. Which way do you all think is best?

I like the idea of the procharger as you can turn it up more later if you want and pretty much put it where ever you want in the bay.
The S/c's will be pushing their max @800 so you wont have any leg-room with one or you'd have to go bigger.

Turbo not an option? Also do some research on LS7s and boost before you get too far into it. They're not as "safe" for boost as most other LS engines. They can be with some work though.

Jaja, I've considered twin mounted turbo like Nemess brought up. I believe we talked about twin 61 master power. The reason I would like to go with the LS7 block is because well it lighter and a whole lot lets than the RHS block. I'm not going to be hot roding the car all the time,its my dd.

The LS7 block should be fine on medium boost (Wouldn't run more then 14psi or so) The internals and block are just fine for stock form and most n/a setups but they seem to crack cyl liners when spraying or boosting them to much. I would run it with a F1A on lower boost and it'll make good power and be reliable.

I'm thinking of selling the LS7 block, I have a gent here in SA who wants it. If that comes through I'll wait a lil and get a RHS block.
