Default Looking for a little guidance

Recently, i was in an accident and have totalled my car (tubo charged integra). I'm looking to switch teams and go ls1 for obvious reasons. My question is, how cheaply can a supercharger be done? I've seen lots of different prices. I'm used to the honda world where everythign can be done cheap (as in entire turbo setups under $1,000). I will most likely be buying a 98 or so camaro assuming i dont get screwed by the insurance company and i want boost. Ive ridden in my friends procharged z28 and all i can say is wow. So any help or guidance would be great.

Thanks,
Chris

Plan on spending 6-8k on top of the car.

You will need at least the following, and probably some more stuff.
Supercharger kit
Fuel system (Pump, Injectors, boost referenced FPR)
Tuning software (HPTuners)

It adds up real fast, if your car is a 6 speed you will probably need a new clutch pretty quick also.
