Both the CT and VT are designed as a plug and play system, no tune neccesary. The VT does have to have the oil pan tapped vs. the CT that goes right off of the oil outlet plug, but that's a thing for your installer, not you.
You will feel VERY little difference between stock and SCed until after VTEC. Both the SC and VT system are belt driven off of the crank and need the RPMs to spool up. After VTEC though, you better hang on.
Reliability is no problem unless you abuse the car. That can be said about any car I guess. There are many S2000's that have SC's and have many trouble frees miles on them. I have had mine for over a year with autoX's and track days and have had no problems that were not self induced.
Any other questions, just ask.

Thanks gomarlins3 a bunch this is very straightforward and helpful!!! I wish they had designed a smaller supercharger that spooled up quicker to give the car more low end as the top end already is amazing for a 2.0 liter engine.
Yah, looking at the stock exhaust the other day it looks pretty good with mandrel bent piping. The system he has recommended to me is $1,500 but says will be pretty quiet, which is what I want.
I've heard on some other forums that Vortech customer service sucks but in my case I really like the installer and he will be dealing with them directly not me. He's been working with them for 20 years. I just kind of wish he was a Comptech dealer/installer instead but anyways.
Thanks again, this will help me in making my decision.
