Default Need suggestions on Superchargers

Hey guys, I need some help here. I'm not a big Charger advocate, but I got a Really Good customer, and he want's some suggestions on which Charger system to use.

Can you Charger Pros sound off on some of the choices of Superchargers he may want to use, selecting on the Power Gains, Torque gains, Reliability, Ease of Install, and did I mention reliable!?

Here's his truck info:
2000 Chevy Silverado Z71: 4.8 w/manual Trans. 4.10 gears/Posi Locker.
Stock size tires and OEM wheels. Only mod so far is a K&N FIPK. Just bought it used, today.

So, be kind, and give us some "light" on the Chargers please.

I was going to say a Radix, too, but I remember Magnacharger saying not to use them with manual shift transmissions. Something about overheating (engine or s/c??) Anyone know why? Has anyone used a Radix w/ a stick??

With a manual trans he can easily do a standard centrifugal and not suffer the woes us auto guys have.
