Im looking for the best supercharger for the setup im putting into my car. You can view all the parts and such on my car domain web page here: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/496159
Also if i will need any additional or different parts then what i have, let me know.

I'll put in a vote for a t trim Vortech.

How much boost are you planning on making? Compression? Daily Driver?? What are your goals? Give people a better idea so they can recommend something that will fit your needs.

I want a daily driver, the amount of boost to keep it safe to drive and not have to worry about hurting the engine, compression around 10:1

In that case, a V2 SQ trim would probably be a better option.

would i get a aftercooler as well? What exactly does it do? Also would i need to change anything in the setup i have now?

Personally, I'd try to lower the compression some more, 10:1 is a bit high for a supercharger setup. You can get Vortech superchargers with or without the aftercooler. The aftercooler is an air to liquid intercooler which removes some of the heat that gets added to the intake charge when the supercharger compresses it. Lower intake temps equal denser charge and less chance of detonation.

As far as things to change...
TR6 plugs
possibly some bigger injectors depending on how much power you intend to make
You'll have to ditch the underdrive pulleys
ARP bolts and studs if you don't have them already
Possibly do a splayed main cap conversion for insurance if you've got the $$

Don't forget to save all the Firehawk pieces like the ram air intake and whatnot. Alot of that stuff won't work when the supercharger goes on.

Whats a splayed main cap?

It's where you convert a 2 bolt main block into a 4 bolt main block. The outer holes are usually drilled at an angle. Doing that and using billet main caps will help to keep the bottom end from coming apart when it's under lots of stress (ie. boost, nitrous, or high RPMs). It's not the cheapest thing to have done, but it's worth it if it keeps your motor alive.
