Default Which supercharger is best

I'm thinking of installing a supercharger on the Denali and wanted to hear some opinions on which is the best all-around kit. I'm leaning towards the Radix but honestly I'm disappionted that they dont have a TVS 2300 kit, only the 1900. I like the kit that Edelbrock has for the Camaros, but they dont make one as yet for our trucks (as far as I know).
I'm also thinking of pulling the VVT cam and doing the LS9 cam as well. The way I see it, a 2300 TVS and the LS9 cam with a proper tune should produce at least 600-625hp (flywheel) on a L92.
What do you guys think it would make with the 1900 Radix Max and LS9 cam? If the LSA makes 550 with its small *** cam, I'm thinking 580ish with the LS9 cam?? Would appreciate your input.

Oh, I forgot to ask if anyone is familiar with the Lysholm kit that Vortech is offering now?
if so, how's the fit, finish, install etc?
Looks like they only have kits for the cathedral port motors though????

Kenne Bell, beats the crap out of everything. But it's a wild expensive conversion. Alot of work too.

You are correct about the cathedral ports.

You wont have the immediate power off the line like you would with a radix kit but once it spools up your top end power will blow away a tvs2300
