Not if you have to block off the passageway and need to vent the crankcase. If you are running the stock system then it is bad to just add a breather for no reason

A CSC kit? They aren't made anymore, but if you find a Paxton Novi 1k you can have a kit made up again from Stattama (Matt told me they just don't do it anymore, but they have all of the molds to still make one). It's about $700 just for the driveshaft of the kit, plus all of the other odds and ends.
I was in the right-place at the right time, and Zipper was upgrading to a paxton 2k and sold me his 1k, and at the same time Stattama was parting out a car that had a CSC and sold me their kit for a very reasonable price.
Overall though, you are looking around the cost of a turbo system if you can even find one of these.

Alright, some more questions:
Chibi-you say superchargers arent good for out cars, do u mean motor? Could i buy a used supercharged 3800 or is that a dumb idea?
-i need to get a new tranny soon, is it a must to have the HD tranny with turbo/supercharger?
-also, my old Monte buddy sold his monte for a GXP and wants to race sometime at the track, what, if possible, should i do to have a chance at beating him?
-and finally, cost of everything thats necessary for a turbo/sc upgrade?

If you can grab the whole engine + transmission and just swap everything to your car, it's the best bet. Top-Swapping it is tough on the 00-02. (No Impossible, but tough)
For the money of the supercharger + mods + tunings + everything else. Turbos are easier and can put out more power. It's more upfront cost, but I think it's worth it.

Tuning for our cars is a pain because there is no stock .bin file for an 00-02 with a supercharger. In 04 they have BIN files, but the transmission was changed in 03 to read differently. You kind of have to make your own hybrid of tuning and it's annoying.
