Hello,
All of the choices mentioned are good ones. I like BDS if you are gonna go with a roots style blower. Procharger makes a good centrifugal setup too and it'll probably fit under the hood. As far as compression ratio goes, the lower the better. 7 to 1 or 8 to 1 is what I would recommend.You will be able to run more boost with lower compression ratios too. Just make sure the bottom end is built to handle the application and remember, detonation is the enemy. Hope this helps.

Michael.
