Supercharger or Turbo?

In spite of our being overenthusiastic and undertalented, we are making good progress, fitting some work on this project in around some new Jaguar, McLaren & Porsche products.
Some more pictures coming in the next few days. Now that all the jigs are done, we have the parts coated, and the larger injectors in, we are on to final install and then to start fine tuning the maps and doing some road testing, monitoring of heat on adjacent components, etc.

Once we get this on the dyno and log some road miles, I'll be posting here with some options for people. This is going to be a slow burn though.

Beautiful. Thanks Stuart.

Most of the kit will fit a 4.7, there's a couple of different things on the front end of the engine that might require us to do one in house first.

Hoping to get the car on the dyno next week. Just have a couple of fuel line fittings I'm waiting on, we rigged something up that 'works' just to get things up and running, but now that it's all in and we know where everything will end up we can do our final routing.
Will probably be a few sessions and some road stuff just to get it all dialed in.
Then I need to have a heart to heart with all you people who are interested and talk about the project, the pricing and how we might go ahead with it. We definitely won't be able to make them economically one at a time, so it might be a question of running 10 off if that's the demand level, and then we may not make any more until there's another 10 orders or something like that.

Stuart,
I am looking forward to seeing how it runs. My main concern will be engine bay temperatures. Living in the Phoenix area I would still like to occasionally drive my car in the summer months. Do you have plans to instrument the engine bay to monitor those temps while running? I am more than willing to dial back boost for summer months but I am still concerned about the exhaust path routing and ambient temps.
I can see that with all the individual fabricated components that this is no easy undertaking for a production run. The initial jig set-up alone for the plumbing weldments is a significant task of it's own.
Impressive work so far.

I know it would go with the bumper upgrade kit but I am not a fan of the V12 hood. The simple 2 mesh exits are so much simpler. The V12 hood reminds me of the chopped S2000 hoods that were popular for a few years. When I owned a mint original S2k it was sad to see them chopped like this:
