Default 1991 5.0 GT Daily Driver...Head/Cam/Bolton Setup or Supercharger?

My friend has a 1991 5.0 GT. It's a daily driver for him. He wants to do something big to it but doesn't know whats better suited for a daily driver. Which route should he go? I don't know much about it, what should I tell him? His current mods are:

-Coldair intake
-UPR O/R X
-Flows

Thanks.[/align]

Either one. A good h/c/i + boltons is less to go wrong. Personally I'd build the engine first as a good n/a daily driver, and if he wants later he can add nitrous or boost, just make sure you build it so that it can handle some later, ie not 11:1 compression then try to add boost. 9 or 9.5:1 can run some boost or spray nitrous without much issue, and it works well for n/a streettoo. It all really comes down to what he wants to do with it

Suspension first... then upgrade the Trans if it has the 5 speed, then do gears, then engine mods. Thats my philosophy now as it will always be.

my vote too. so many people spend money and time on the engine and drive around with a worn out chassis. you would be surprised how much quicker the car will feel with good suspension parts on it.
