supercharger for my 92 Z

I have a 92 Z, 305 TPI, 5 speed, dual cats(230 hp, 300 ft/lbs.) I have been interested in supercharging her for a while, and really dont know where to start. I need to get a bigger throttle body, injectors, and what else? Does the chip need to be updated being a MAP system? Also what is a good charger to go with? I have seen alot of people complaining about bad bearings in their paxton-is this a specific model or what? I need any and all info if possible. Thanks a million.

I had a paxton s/c for about 700 miles before she went. I would highly recomend staying away from paxton, at least the sn2000. I am currently purchasing an ATI. Many people are doing the same. If you are going to run 8lbs of boost you don't NEED to modify anything(ati anyways). I would however upgrade your ignition and do headers and an exhaust system for best results. Your fuel system should be ok because it comes with an fmu. If you have anymore questions you can e-mail me direct. It all depends on what kind of results you want and how much you can spend. Remember, "Speed costs, how fast do you want to go?"

Definetly ATI procharger mainly because its price is 2,988 dollars, includes intercooler as a result does not need to retard timing or other mods. Just got to follow manufactures spec and change oil every 3,000 miles.
