My advice, Keep the engine you have for a while longer. Doh mind we tappin yuh up now. Get your head and block and build properly to raise it up a few notches on the SC.
I gonna dispwn you for boosting tho.

I am currently running a daily driven supercharged setup...its the best bang for buck imho...when I cost out cams, springs, retainers etc, it was coming up to the around the same as the supercharged setup but it will have net me much less whp...you do not need to build the engine to have a reliable setup, what you need to do is invest in some injectors a proper management (chrome, hondata, ectune etc.) and a good tune... maintenance is minimal, the only problem I experience with it is after a month of driving I usually have to tighten the sc pulley because it gets slack and I do not get full boost...this is a common problem with the JRSC's...gas consumption is about the same once you stay out of boost which is relatively easy...
Its great fun to drive, as you stump the gas you instantly get 5psi and at about 3800rpm you are at full boost 9psi all coming linear and feeling like a NA vehicle... it also gives great pleasure when you tap up them modified and tuned k series ...
there is a wealth of information in the following thread...its alot of pages to read but the info is invaluable for anyone choosing to supercharge their civic...

Also this a supercharger kit for sale online on ebay:-
