you have more hp potential with a turbo, but, for street/strip, supercharge it. less hassle. straight strip car though, turbo !! lookin at anywhere from @ $2500-$4000 for the kit(s) and i dont know how much installation would be. mags say anywhere from 12-18hrs for install time. hell, if you kno your way around a garage/tools, youd probably be better off doing it yourself(if youre comfortable with it). as long as you have another car to drive while its torn apart. but, like i said, street/strip: s/c it. full drag car: turbo.
