FYI, a Paxton Novi 2000 can be had for $2500 brand new and will outflow a S-Trim. If you aren't going much above 10 psi, you may want to look into a Novi 1000. They run about $1600-1700 new but you may be able to find one cheaper. The 1000 will flow 5-6 psi out of the box but is capeable of 15 psi which is more than enough for what you're looking for.

With any blower over 5-6 psi, you'll benefit from a bypass valve and maybe some 24lb'ers and a larger fuel pump. I'd go a little bit bigger on the injectors and fuel pump...that way, you won't need the FMU. The FMU is a useless piece of garbage plus the car will be easier to tune without it. With bigger injectors, remember to calibrate your MAF.

Alot of people are biased towards certain brands of superchargers (like myself) but in the end, the choice is up to you. Do your research and read as much material as you can about each brand of blower. $3k is more than enough for what you're looking for. As 88workcar already stated, TAKE YOUR TIME.
