Well i dunno if i want a turbo if my car will "blow up" cause like us all i get kinda crazy with my car. I still am leaning towards the stage two intercooled procharger. I cost $4800 with free shipping. Not bad of a price. I looked up some videos of prochargers and it sounds bad ***. They get roughly 330hp total or whatever. "50 to 80%" more gains. I still got a longgggggggg way to go to save to even get the cheapest and crappiest forced induction mod so i got time to research which i am still doing on my free time.

Canton intercooler reservoir is what holds the liquid that is circulated through the heat exchanger/intercooler to cool the air charge.
UPR is a brand oil catch can that catches tiny droplets of oil from your valve cover to your intake manifold to prevent blow-by.
4" Shaftmasters is an aluminum shaftmasters brand 4" in diameter drive shaft.
Koni STR.T's is a type of shock absorber / strut made by Koni.

Vortech H.O. Kit - $4500
2.87 pulley (you will need it for 12psi)- $50-100? Not sure.
A good heat exchanger will run you- $300+ dollars
Catch can- $100
Also the IC Reservoir roughly $140
Just research

There's no single "best" overall choice. Some are easier to install, some generate more power, some are easier to maintain.
It depends what you really want to do with the car, and what (if anything) you can do yourself, whether it be installing stuff or simple maintenance.
The 4.0L is a stout engine, but yes, it can be pushed too far. Proper custom tuning is crucial to longevity and best power. As mentioned, don't let 'dyno numbers' be your deciding factor. With any of the options, the car will be a totally different beast; you'll spin tires through 2nd gear very easily, with any of them. That does no good if you end up in a ditch or into a pole.
Indeed do take your time, do lots of research, look locally where you can at what people have done, etc.
...just to toss it out...upgrading to a GT will get you more power as well, and for not that much of a cost difference...Although, it's way 'cooler', I think, having a blown V6 that'll spank many near-stock GTs.
