Supercharger ?'s

Ok the days are coming closer where i decide to "soup up" my car now. I first decided on a turbo NA. But i then changed my mind to a Big shot Nitrous NA. Now Im curious on superchargers.
Are they very heavy?
Will it throw off my 50/50 weight alot or would it even it up if i took off my PS,AC etc..
What companys make Superchargers for NA rx7's?
Roots or centirfugal which is a better buy?
I want it mainly for track racing. But i want more power.

the centrifugal superchargers are just like the compressor side of turbochargers (although a little larger) so it would be less around the weight of a turbo, without the exhaust manifold (although you have a header still)
not sure about the other types of superchargers as far as weight
i think atkins is the one who has the screw type supercharger, and someone has a centrifugal kit, well used to at least.
theyre kinda expensive though.

i think it would be nice to run a centrifugal and have it run through the stock t2 topmount intercooler

A custom mounting bracket fitted and the proper pulley. Plus a custom intake, but that should be easy.
