Default best bang for your buck?

I'm looking to supercharge my 5.3 and I'm kinda lost on which supercharger to get. I've read alot on whipple about being a good all around S/C for the street and strip. I will run my truck every once and awhile but it will usually pull DD duty.

Any suggestions on this? Can I get more boost on the stock engine components or should I upgrade something?

I'm kinda new to this but I've been modifying truck for awhile. Thanks for any help.

IMHO! You can't beat the price=power of a used STS. You can get one cheaper than some superchargers and lets face it...rear mount or not, turbos are

For the most complete well packaged all around power with a supercharger you can't beat the Radix Magnacharger. IMHO
