Default Got extra money now, what do you think?

Ok so after paying off school and books i have some extra scholarship money again and i am not sure on what to do.

I have the option of turbo/supercharger since that would be great gains without sacraficing mileage since this is daily driver.

or should i go a heads/cam route, i am debating on what to do, i know if i get heads/cam my drivability every day would suffer a bunch but a blower/turbo is more expensive, i would have to get 42/60 #'ers and probably forged pistons so i can be safe with the boost.

anyone have advice on what route to take, im a pickle

I doubt the excess of a student loan would cover the cost of going FI
Get the head and cam setup

ah its not student loan

i dont really like to breakdown my financial things but:

pell grant, university grant, math scholarship, teacher scholarship, state grant, and some other misc grants/scholarships, and this semester my mom's present from her to me is she is paying for tuition. so ill have about 8 grand. BUT i know drivability will go down, and im a sucker for drivability ha.

Get a OFI Turbo Kit or D1SC.. Power levels will be some feirce

Good H/C/I
FMS HL F14 232/234 .646/.612 112+4 / TFS 215cc / ported90/90tb
{mill the heads 61cc /.040 cometics /11.3:1 scr / 8.7:1 dcr }

It would have good drivability at 9.0* overlap, it would chop enough to let others know your not messing around . Specially when they see Trick Flow machined on both heads haha .

Shoulda make 440+ with an A4 N/A ..SPRAY 100 kit 550RWHP 600TQ
coulda go 9's 1/4 Full weight with enough nitrous 250 shot etc.
woulda
