I probably should add this to my OP post but I did look at some SC kits, (Vortech, Jackson, and Innovate) Yeah ironically as much as I don't like superchargers. I probably will have to go this route.

The superchargers that are out there for our cars are pretty decent. They can't match a turbo for all-out power production, but you can get 275-285 whp without too much trouble. And with less heat underhood, as well.
More importantly, a few of the supercharger manufacturers have CARB-legal kits that come with a tune already. So hypothetically you could get the Jackson Racing CARB-legal kit, install it or have it installed, flash the ECU, and drive out with much more power without needing dyno time. Granted, a good tuner and a dyno can fine-tune the base map, but you could still drive out on just the base map if you wanted to.
Since you have a year before you move on FI, you should look at supporting mods. Engine and drivetrain bushings, maybe an oil cooler, wheels and tires, suspension, etc...
