About ten years ago I would of said supercharger, now with all the cool stuff for turbos I'd have to say I'd do the turbo. Better manners on the street and there is no doubt they make power. Just my $0.02.

Ha,ha see a little SSP never hurts....
I had no desire to hack the front of my SS grille on my car, plus I still retain A/C. The twin 4.5" coolers worked out fine. The methanol was the trick for me - nice and simple. My IAT's were in control, good enough to run 18* of timing.

anything higher than 800rwhp, you will start having a lot
of belt slippage and will require well built brackets and
8 to 10 rib belts and if your lucky your belt will last 10
dyno pulls at that boost level

im in the same boat as you just about. mines for sale because of money issue but if it sells it sells.
if bob is watching, can you post that 402 f1 setup with the epp blower cam. its on there site anyways. i vote for procharger for simplicity and the fact that you will have that fun thrust as soon as you hit the throttle when your just putin around town instead of when you hit a certain rpm she wants to scream. i think the procharger would have a much fun'er (made up word) powerband when your not racing. also, depending on you compression you could use nitrous outta the hole and then the procharger takes over. street car= procharger, race/strip car for one purpose= 3speed auto turbo car
