supercharger is better for off the line performance, instant gratification. Turbo is better for bottom end. So do you want quickness or speed?

Welcome to the forum...

I would roll with the turbo...

For $3K you can get a turbo kit that will get you close to 300HP. The stock supercharged monte is only gonna get you 240HP. Get another trans too... Your gonna need one after that HP infusion.
