turbo tech is the cheapest and will get you some power you need.
ls1m cost more but uses better parts more complete.
cas is a nice kit also that provides good gains.

Most people will argue that turbos are more efficient based on the fact that they dont require a parasitic draw on the engine to spin and you don't shred belts with them, but the right blower set up can really kick some *** too

Remember to add headers to the cost of a supercharger. And make sure you compare apples to apples. Most turbo kits come with everything like injectors, fuel pump, programming, etc where that might an option on the Supercharger kits. A turbo kit will usually produce more torque. I actually bought the ATI D1SC but decided to sell it after hearing about some of the problems and go turbo instead. I want something reliable and not have to worry about belts breaking or slipping.
