He's just choosing a catback, not running for president. It's all about the noise.

If you have the money up front and dont road race the car the blower IMO is the best option. Around the same cost, more power, sometimes better drivebility depending on the cam chosen, and the potenial to grow. Or you could just do heads/cam/ and a blower

Nah but maybe swap out the valve springs when you do the SC install just to be safe.
