Default turbo or supercharger

I have been looking around at zzp and 3800 performance at their supercharger kit and turbo kits for my Monte Carlo. The supercharger kit is cheaper, but it looks like the turbo will give me more power. If you were in my situation which one would you get and why? I just need some input before I make a huge investment like this.




Thanks
Steven

Depends on what you are after, streetability or pure HP. S/C for the street, turbo for power.Getting the turbo ro run perfect is tough.

An Eaton M90 and setup with a 3.5" pulley with the proper setup, should give you GREAT streetability. You've got a higher compression than I've got on my L67, so you need to stay a little bit bigger with the pulley.

Pretty good deal
