Default supercharge my v6, do a v8 engine swap, or wait til next year to get a v8?

what would be the cheapest/smartest option? I have decided to keep the v6 for another year at least as it has been reliable as hell and all the other cars i been looking at have been very problematic.

i feel warry when looking at mustang gt because i get the sense that they have been dogged on a lot and for some reason in my brain i register that "its a bigger engine, so it can have more problems"

theres a guy down the stret from me i just met the otherday with a 98 v6 mustang and he dyoned at about 433 rwhp

he has super charger but he rebuilt his engine with all performance parts, pushpins, heads etc.

he does all his own work in his garage too :O

why does it say in the forum v6 engines are 'torque monsters'....does that mean we have more torque then the v8s, and can be faster if we use supercharger and get more power?

supercharers are expensive but found this twin turbo kit on ebay for 1k, what u guys think? if i go to any auto shop will they be able to install it or how will i find a shop?
