Default turbo or supercharger which is better

well I have been wondering what is the better one of a 2011 v6 auto mustang. I see a lot of people get a superchager and then want to go turbo. I am not sure which to go with and which company to go with it will be a couple of months down the road before I get one just like to do some research and ideas. my car is a daily driver just want something for when the ricers come up they know not to mess with a muscle.

You need to match the power adder to your personal needs and driving style. If anyone tells you one is better than the other without knowing what you want out of it, they are just blowing smoke.
Budget?
Use of the car? Street driven? Drag? Auto-X/road course?
Where do you want the power band?

Granted I'm a little biased, but I prefer to run ProChargers on my Mustangs. I feel like they're more reliable and easier to tune.

Basically I want this car to be a daily driver. Maybe once or twice take it to the drag strip and maybe once try auto cross but it would be just a daily driver. Budget would be about 5000 and power I want to make out of it is hopefully 400 or a little more. I plan on doing the exterior first, suspension second and engine and drivetrain third. I just recently bought a borla atak axle back exhaust and I bought it with a bbk throttle body on it. I want to go a head and knock out the exhaust and go from there. I really want something that will have great power and great reliability. I would like to take it to shows and every thing. Thank you for any help

With that in mind: ProCharger. You won't regret it.

with a 5K budget. Procharger or Vortech would be the way to go. You aint going to get a good turbo system for under 5k IMO. they take a larger initial investment. But before you do either. Really figure out what your goals are going to be. And if your going to be tuning your suspension first, hope you using adjustable parts, cause as you add more power you may have to make some changes, specially in the rear set up.

I was thinking a procharger as well seems like a good fit for what I want. any cons for the procharger? Can I get long tube headers with the procharger? Right now I am about to upgrade my gears to a 3.73 and a ford racing traction lok limited slip differential since my differential is going out. now suspension I was planning on going with a Eibach pro system plus which has front struts rear shocks pro kit lowering springs 36mm Tubular Front Sway Bar with bushings 3 way adjustable 25mm solid rear Sway bar and a J&M adjustable panhard rod. what would you sugget any thing differnent or any thing else?

There are no cons at all to the ProCharger kit. Check out the American Muscle V6 build based on that unit.
Sounds like you have a good plan laid out.
