Default Supercharger Advice/help

For two years now, I have mod'd my car. Trying to build a platform for eventually installing a supercharger. I'm not sure what I need to change on my current setup and I need some competent advice. Could someone with experience answer a few questions for me?? I've use the search feature, but, there are differing opinions on the things I've listed below. Can anyone tell me what's myth and what's reality. So far nearly 20 people have viewed this without anyone responding. Anybody out there?


1. JBA Cat4Ward shorty's or change to LT's?
2. Stall converter or no stall converter?
3. Larger cam or keep the TR 220/220/.553/.553 112 LSA?
4. Keep High-flow CAT pipe sections or change to larger diameter offroad pipes?
5. Keep EGR! and AIR! turned off or re-install them and turn back on with Edit or HP Tuners?

Just keep in mind that I'm in Florida and there's no requirement for emissions testing. Any advice is appreciated, so, if you can see something else I have not considered, please elaborate. I'm hoping like hell I don't need to change much. This stuff gets expensive ... quick! Thanks.

Get LT's, ORY and a nice catback.
Get a cutout
ditch that cam for a higher LSA more split for the blower.

Thanks for the feedback. ****, I was afraid of that ... more money .... hehehe! I was read that an idea LSA would be 114-117. I probably can swap the cam without taking much of a loss. Guess I should have done the LT's/ORY a long time ago, but, I read some apparent misinformation that said it would be best to go with shorty's. My fault for not looking into it more.

It was said to get a good catback/cutout. I have an adj. Borla catback with Q-Tech cutout. Anyone else care to comment?

I've got a 3.73. It's gonna' be a street car ... dragstrip just for fun right now. Won't my 3.73 be enough? How about a 3200-3500 SSF stall converter?
