Good entry level Superchargers?

I've been looking at adding a Supercharger or Turbo to my 383 on my '91 Camaro. Turbos seem to be nice and cheap, under 1K for a complete setup. However, from what I'm understanding to install one your basically going to have to pull out the whole motor install. This brings me to Superchargers. I think they would be easier and cheaper to install. I was wondering is there a good site that can match the pricing of turbos? A small supercharger for 1K? I don't want anything crazy, I'm just looking to add maybe 100hp or so to my system. Any advice would be welcomed.

honiestly craigslist. haha but if ur just looking for 100hp gain why not go for nitrous u dont get worse gas mileage and you have more control of when u use it and a 100 shot is very small. and i know many people say nitrous over time costs more but if ur only using it on the track but its a daily driver u will save money actually for all the gas u go through with forced induction.

turbo's are anything but cheap, under 1k is a pipe dream if you want it to be reliable enough for a DD, especially for a set up capable to provide enough air to a 383

I've been looking at a STS Universal Turbo Kit. They are also rear mount which would work better for my application. They are around 2K for the setup which I didn't think was that bad. I was told they will work with my 383 Stroker? My biggest concern is the fuel supply. I have a 454 Throttle Body bored to 54mm running two 90# injectors with TBI. Does anyone know if this would work? I'm only looking for a 5-6 psi boost at most.
