Default best way to get 350 hp

Hey everyone, I am new to the site and would like some input on an engine upgrade. Have a stock 5.0 out of an 89 gt. Would like to make around 350 to 400 hp. Not sure if I want to go the heads and cam route or put on a supercharger. Any opinions?

quickest way supercharge, or turbocharge www.on3performance.com this way will be far cheaper than the h/c/i and yield you 400 rwhp right out of the gate after a tune on a stock 5.0 long block where as with the h/c/i route, you'd be in the 290-310 rwhp depending on how decent of a h/c/i and all supporting mods were...............if you don't want to boost is, stroke it 331/347 with a good h/c/i meaning no Chinease crap.......will yield an easy 380 rwhp tuned right, however this route is more expensive than the turbo link route I posted
