Default To boost or not to boost?

Well I sold my ls/vtec turbo in order to get a new gsr. Dont ask me why I did it but I just got tired of not having a car that ran and idled good and has a working a/c (I live in the desert so a/c is a must). Now that I have the gsr I am left to debate whether or not to add a supercharger to a brand new and fresh engine. The car is brand new and only has 3500 miles on it. I also bought an extended warranty like an idiot. Give me your opinions and options as to what I should do with this new car. Should I just leave it alone or boost the bitch. If I do modify it what should I do about the warranty. Someone please talk some sense into me.

I have nothing against s/c, but why not boost it with a turbo kit? I have heard of some really nice turbo'd B18C1's out there. Plus, the turbo forum is full of turbo'd GSR's so you could get as much input as you needed. TURBO!!!!!

Well I guess your right. Majority rules. How can I neglect the opinions of my peers. The only problem I have is that with turbo, I was always doing compression checks, changing oil, plugs, monitoring rich and lean conditions, etc. etc. etc. I just don't want all those problems again, but I do want a fast and reliable rocket. That is why I was thinking of a supercharger instead of a turbo. I leave the turbo for when I buy a race car or a weekend cruiser, but not as a daily driver. Opinions. Let me hear them. Set ups recommend them.
