Default whats better: gt 40p heads cobra intake 65 mm throttle body or supercharger?

i want to know what the 2 setupswill give me (horsepower/torque atso an so rpm). im gonna use gt 40p heads, bbk shorty headers,cobra lower intake, explorer upper and the explorer throttle body OR either the cheapo base modelpaxton or vortech supercharger kits for my mustang. either setups will get some 4:10 or 3.73 gears. im gettin about $3000 here soon but i want to save as much money as possible and get as close too 11 or 12 second times as i can. my local junkyard has the heads, tb, and upper intake for like 200and ill get the lower cobra just cause i dont want to adapt a explorer lower intake. and both the superchargers are about $2300.also whats gonna be easier to install?
