Default Turbo or procharger

What's a better choice out the two for a max of 750hp? The car is a daily driver with occasional trips to the track. So I'm pretty much looking for a 10 second street car on pump gas I want to stay under 800hp because the price of a 4l80 jumps dramatically after that. My fabrication skills are limited but I'm willing to learn and I have a few buddies thats very good at welding.

Comes down to personal preference and how much you want to spend. A $400 turbo will make 750hp no sweat. Similar procharger will be $4000-$6000?

Also, you didn't mention which motor this will be.

what is your budget? you can get to your HP goal cheaper with turbos, but it's not quite "bolt-on"
