Default Supercharger kit suggestions?

So we are redesigning the 99-06 Silverado kit. The way our bracket and tensioners are placed it forces us to run a straight water neck off the thermostat housing. Doing this we run into another issue with the fan shroud and fan. That being said, if you were to purchase a supercharger kit, Would you already have or be upgrading to electric fans anyways? This would result in a much cleaner install. We always value feedback. So please let us know what you guys think.

Thanks

most will run the electric fans...I'm keeping the stock clutched fan on my 2500HD tow turd because it's less stress on the electrical system, more dependable and moves more air than e-fans for those times you're pulling a heavy load.

Itd be nice if you offered both versions honestly. On my daily I haven't bothered although im gonna charge it anyways.
Last time I checked you guys offered non intercooled kits right? Has that changed?

Move it to the passenger side to help with weight distribution. Another vendor does that.

I use, and am very well pleased with Magnuson, belt drive TVS1900. Looks like a factory stock install, and acommodates the stock water pump mounted cooling fan.
