in ny if its 95 or older ya dont have to plug it into the states computer for analisis, but you need to have all the emmisions equipment in place and working for "visual inspection". But if yer you know and inspector well or have an inspectors license like myself then, well you get the idea

I want to chime in and ramble please allow me to be a little picky for a second! When asking if turbo or supercharged I smile because the question you are asking is really 'what type of supercharger OR supercharging would you recommend that i use' your parameters are *not n/a*
for example my 62 corvair is turbo supercharged, makes sense the turbo is the type of supercharger... the type of *not n/a* it says so in its manuals and when looking up in my dictionary/encyclopedia supercharging is general meaning over normal atm. I know people use "bling rims" instead of wheels even though the "rim of a wheel" and a "wheel" are different and the one that makes me laugh the most is "posi" is used for EVERYTHING even though a registered GM trademark for their LSD, ford uses trac-loc I know I know I just had to ramble and I apologize!
I would love to go for my street/fun/bracket car a simple single turbo but I never have found a legal kit, the only turbo legal 5.0 kit I have ever heard of is the defunct Incon Twin Turbo Kit,

you have to cut the body/engine bay and it IS two of them HOWEVER "You don't have to relocate your battery and your stock H-pipe bolts right up" which is a plus... If you can find the kits. I have been looking at the two new "Paxton Self-Lubricating Centrifugal Supercharger"

anyways those are my two favroite choices and I dont meant to offend with my ramblings but just bring up a point for a gag-and-smile ok

Again not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but keeping thoughts like that generally come off like you're trying to make someone look like they're stupid.
In any case, The stock H pipe isn't a good option if you plan on making quite a bit of power nor are most aftermarket ones, plumbing a turbo kit into them generally requires putting unnecessary bends into the exhaust system which can cost you power.
You can get around hacking up your car if you're willing to modify aftermarket turbo kits or build your own, in most cases the idea is to get cooler air from the fender well as opposed to warmer air in the engine bay.
