Default Blower size and amount of boost.

I'm starting to collect parts to build a blower motor, and am wondering if it is better to run a larger blower at a slower speed versus a smaller blower at a higher speed to produce the same amount of boost?

Also, what would be a good starting point as far as boost goes? 238 cu. in. inline six, alcohol injected, the motor will be in a dragster (not street driven). steel crank, decent stock rods w/ good rod bolts, head studs, and head had been o- ringed. I have had the motor @ 15.5-1 carbureted on alcohol, but because of the intake I kept leaning out #1 & #6 cylinder. so I will be going to mechanical injecion. I figure static compression around 11-1, and roughly 12 - 16 psi. not sure where to start.
