Default Turbo or Super?

Hey i was just wondering what would be a smarter choice, super charge or turbo charge a mustang 5.0 1994, and any types in particular that are worth buying, or best performance wise?

Performance wise?
Turbo takes the cake, nothing can match the power that a turbo can give.
Except of course nitrous.

But the power will all be in the upper rpm's, sort of like a centrifugal blower.
But if you're looking for power at ANY rpm go with a Twin Screw charger

^^^ what he said. Turbo for unbeatable mid - high end power. Twin-Screw for awesome low - mid power, & still pretty good high end. centrifugal for mid - high end power. roots for low - mid power, but hardly any high end. I would say rule the roots type out all together.

I'll bet $800 I could get a functioning 10 psi system on my 89 GT if you gave me $800 & i'll guarentee it will work for at least 6 months. Only problem is you gotta pay $800 first.
