Default Thinking of going turbo

Hey all I'm starting to think about switching from procharger to a turbo set up.
I have a built 390 engine 9.5-1 cr, has 4l80 with t brake 3600 stall, 3.73 gears with 28 inch tall Hoosier dr. Car weighs around 3900lbs running 93/meth.
Car is street strip looking to eventually run 8.50's in 1/4.
Prolly run a single.
Car trapped 140mph so far with more left to it.

Or I can get good heads and do a carb intake and elbow but not sure if I can pick up 8-12 mph gap I'll need.
