Default Supercharger or Turbo?

I have a 2005 Mustang GT with stock internals. I recently installed 1 pc aluminum drive shaft, 4.10 gears, Rousch CAI, GT500 Fuel Throttle Body, Shorty headers, Koni Shocks/Struts and SR Springs, upper/lower rear control arms, front/rear hotchkis sway bars, panhard bar, barton short shifter, BAMA tuner, Borla axle backs and posi.

My next step is to (either) change heads, add cams, add ford racing manifold, bigger fuel injectors, coils, fuel pump and super or turbo charger....OR.

Leave as current state and add supercharger. I'm looking at the Kenne Bell, I've read that the stock internals are safe to about 500hp so I'm trying to achieve this or around 550.

Any feedback to help my decision is appreciated.

@jwog666

Sounds like you're satisfied with it? You experience any issues with the blower? I'm pretty certain I'm gonna get it. The reviews seem solid. Thanks for the feedback; appreciate it.

thanks no issues with the blower at all with the exception of a bad MAF (mass air flow sensor) right out of the box, kenne bell sent me a replacement right away. makes great power, and is a blast to drive.
