setting myself up for a turbo

I have a 98 lumina LTZ with a L36 that eventually I will turbo. I decided to run a supercharged motor for the low compression, however I'm not sure I should hold out for a series 3 or if I find a series 2 with good mileage, just take it. I under the impression the 3 will perform better and hold up better. My plan will be to swap the upper intake over to a n/a style with hv3 insert. Fuel wise I'm curious if there is an advantage with return or return less fuel rails? I'll be setting up for e85 if it's readily available otherwise meth injection. I'm set on the z7 kit for now, but I'm wondering if I can run it with a wastegate dumped into the atmosphere rather than downpipe just for the noise or is it better to run it into the exhaust I don't really see why. Just putting my thoughts out there to see what others think. I'm still learning.
