Depends on how good of a deal and what you want to do to your car. I would go with the SC since it is going to give you quite a noticeable gain in hp over a cam. The supercharger could later be upgraded with intercooler and pulley (if he doesn't already have those) for even more power.

You get the cam and hook me up with your buddy with the SC, you don't want that kind of hassle

Overall, the people that I know with superchargers aren't really happy with their setups. I'd look into the cams and maybe start an all motor project.

superchargers suck...you can spend the same amount of money on fully built head instead

well think of it this way...if you can get the s/c for cheap get it and re-sell it...the money you get for it you can get cams, gears, springs, valves, retainers.

FI setup:
If you're looking for a quick and easy, moderate hp gain, then you're going to want the supercharger; however, if you are looking for a more long term build up and higher hp gain then you'll want a turbo.

ALL motor:

CTR cams aren't going to give you a large, noticeable hp gain. You'll have to spend a lot more money on everything else as well to get good numbers out of an all motor setup and then you'll realize that you wasted money on the CTR cams and you'll want something with a more aggressive profile.

No they are not the same, bolt pattern is different as the sc is different too.ls uses the smaller one (m45) instead of the m60 for vtec engines
