Default modding dilema, bolt on's or supercharger

my car is stock so far except for flowmaster axlebacks, i am in the process of selling my old civic for 4500. i'm debating between getting
-intake and tune
-o/r h pipe
-udp
-gears
-and headers
all should cost about 2 g's with installation

or a supercharger. i know the supercharger will make way more power but i do want to save some of my money to put toward paying the car off. what do you guys think?

around how much power would the bolt on's make?

Don't get all that stuff if you want to go FI. Unfortunately I've already made that mistake. However, personally I wouldn't spend 6K on a car that I was making payments on. That just doesn't make financial sense. Save the money, pay off the car, then mod the heck out of it. My opinion.
