Default Turbo? SC?

I am new to the site, and was just wondering what type of kit (turbo or supercharger)I should go with to make around 700hp at the tires. My motor already has internals, but I am running a high compression with LS6 heads. I am sorta partial to supercharger b/c the seem to be cheaper in general, but thats just me. I am looking to spend no more than 7G's and want to make as much power as possible. Any Ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

F1's are WAY to big to fit under the hood, and still fit an air filter on them (assuming your car is a 4th gen). Can it be done, yes, but you don't need an F1. D1s and P1s are sold as kits from ATI (procharger) and their chart shows that the D1 will support up to 925 supercharged HP (i'm guessin @ the crank). www.procharger.com

I have stock displacement and am running a higher compression on LS6 heads that have been worked. Stock block and forged internals (pistons and rods) Dont know the exacts on the cam, but my car is an auto with only a 2800 stall, so its not as big as it could be.

you shou switch to 6.0L heads to drop your CR, that high CR will be hard to tune as youll have to use plenty of octane.
