Default Supercharger Selection for G Wagon

Ok,

Need some opinions, this seems like a topic that *might* not turn into a flamefest... but you never know.

I was going to put twin turbos on my sport utlity vehicle but I have been advised against and I dont know too much about belt driven superchargers...

So I would like some opinions on Roots vs Screw vs Centrifugal Superchargers... Any brand recomendations would be apreciated as well.

Only a few people make kits for the G Wagon and they are all over priced and under powered so I am going to put one together from scratch. So no kit....

I need to pick a good head unit and hooking it up from there should not be too hard is a straight forward engine with a decent amount of room. It has the AMG package to the pistons are already upgraded and the engine should be able to handle additional power.

It weighs 5600 lbs, has like 350 HP now. Kleeman makes a S/C for it but its like 20 grand and I think i can do better cheaper on my own. They push up to like 550 HP. I need lots of torque. I think it could be a good 1/8 mile warrior anything further than that and the areodynamics will kill me. its AWD which should help too.

I want to build the worlds fastest toaster on wheels! Any input is apreciated

Thanks,

Robert
