your not going to get the most power with either one, it depends. Turbochargers mostly get better hp to psi though (if thats what you were talking about). Do some research, theres tons of information out there comparing turbo's and superchargers, your not going to get all the information here. Your going to need to do some searching yourself.

And where you said safe boost, it depends. You don't want to go over 450hp on the stock block. Boost depends on what kind of setup you are running also (h/c/i). Turbo's are always more complicated also (just another thing to keep in mind).
