Default Supercharger, Turbo or H/C/I?

With a 95 5.0, what would be better, supercharger, turbocharger or a H/C/I kit? Which is best on the engine and best in HP? What brands work best?

well of course hci is better on the engine, and poweradders before internal and basic bolt ons are lame, IMO

It all comes down to how much money you want to spend?

Doesn't really matter, i want to make it the easiest way possible as I do not plan on taking my car to a shop, rather do it ourselves.

go turbo. a turbo kit on a bone stock 5.0 will make 450rwhp (assuming you buy the supporting mods i.e fuel upgrade)

your first question to ask yourself are you willing to put out the $$$$$ for a PMS,TWEECER RT or the like and a A/F ratio kit....many will tell you the '94-95 isn't the most forgiving 'puter ford ever made
