Do it right you won't have any problems (at leats not serious)... You will never be satisfied with a supercharged honda, I quessing around 95% have turbo setups that post in FI so that should tell you turbo, turbo, turbo

But you need to read up and see what hp goals you want and how much you will to spend cuz more hp means more $$$ and do you research!

Procharger makes a nice supercharger for the B Series, my preference is turbo though.

example of pricey builds:

$3500.00 fully built engine
$4249.00 full race stage 4 kit
$800.00 hondata with most options
?????.?? tunings expensive

I am going to be coughing all this up with a wife, kid, and car payment. This might take a while lol.

But seriously I would go turbo, those prices are for HIGH hp applications. That is going to be on my ls/vtec. But seriously you could get away with spending 2000 with a decent setup and maybe squeeze in a hondata unit. cough up a little bit more to tune and your set.
