I think you are assuming that a Supercharger would net you more power. That's incorrect. Turbo's are the best power for this car. Most people running a supercharger on stock internals are getting about 330 whp on e85. (rough number). And thats basically pushing the SC to its limit. Very few people are past that limit and if they are, they have a built motor, smaller high boost pulley and running E85. And i think the most ive seen is 450 whp.
With just the JDL Turbo which is 2999$ you can hit 280-300 whp on PUMP gas. 91-93. It also has the potential to go higher. And the best thing about turbo kits? Want more power? Put a bigger turbo on it.
The PTuning turbo kit can achieve 450 whp on pump gas (built motor recommended) and with the bigger upgraded turbo can hit 600+.
If you want power, buy a turbo. You want reliability, buy a supercharger.
