Default PI heads VS supercharger!?

hey,
what is the best for long term, hp, and cost wise? PI heads and good cams, or a paxton supercharger? i have the head unit, but nothing else for the supercharger, what would be more effective for horsepower? and this is a daily driver so i need it to be less likley to break down also...thanks alot

The supercharger is going to be more effective for horsepower. And neither should really effect reliability, unless you get some really aggressive cams with the PI heads.

depends which heads, if you go with a 1600 dollar package, and maybe 500 dollar cams, you'll prob have close to 300bhp N/A and then u can run a 100 shot of N20. Thats what my plan might end up being. S/C would net you prob around 300?
