Default Supercharger or Heades Cam and intake by trick flow

Which would be the the best way to go, get a 5 psi supercharger or get that heads cam and intake setup by trick flow for a 1989 Ford mustang 5.0?

Personally, I wouldn't bother with a S/C thats less than 6 PSI. Given the two choices, I would go with the TF kit... either Street Heat or Twisted Wedge.

I would go with the supercharger but that's because I'm too lazy to take apart half of the engine.

ORRRRR put the blower on with some upgades (pulley, powerpipe) pull 8+psi out of it and than every time you put one little mod on it that frees up some air you gain tons of power
