she's not a trailer queen, but i will be in some shows, she won't be a 9 second car but she will be dragged once in a while, she definately will be driven, but not a daily driver. 500-700hp range preferable...

13-14 psi supercharger, build block and heads, cams for the same $$$ as a turbo. Then add and 100-150 shot of nitrous on top of it along with other supporting mods you will need....
You would probably make close to 500 rwhp without the nitrous....

RE: Supercharging or Turbo ?
Depends on what you're wanting. If you want a street car to play around in i would definitely suggest a roots or twin screw supercharger. They're more fun than turbo cars by a long shot.
If you're wanting a faster car i'd say go turbo.
I prefer turbo myself, but it's more for the power. I love roots superchargers just as much, they make up for it in the fun factor where turbo lacks somewhat.
Never owned or built a twin screw car. Driven one, but never messed around with it enough to give you good input.
So... my opinion, you want a straight line drag car (That's including straight line racing on the street) I'd say go turbo. For everything else I'd recommend a positive displacment supercharger. I think you'd probably like a roots or twin screw more though.

I have a supercharger but if you don't have to worry about smog(I'm in san diego) I would definetly go turbo, its more efficient than s/c, will make more hp per pound of boost, and the boost can easily be adjusted for normal driving. If you're looking for the easiest than s/c the most hp I would say go turbo
