Eaton or Vortech?

I was thinking about running boost but lately i've been getting annoyed by the whine of the supercharger and the dyno graphs for turbo miatas show that turbo power delivery is very spikey. Thats with shit loads of tuning.

superchargers on the other hand show a smooth power delivery but they sound too whiney.
I didn't say anything about the car. I said you'll be slower than an S2000.


I'm not sure how the miata SCs sound... I'm used to turbo whistle on heavy trucks which is rather obnoxious, so I can't see an SC bothering me personally.
