sell that supercharger and buy a harrop.....just saying, it's such an easy upgrade, and cheap, and you'll gain 50whp.....

you know your the second person that said that. $2K right
According to bolus Turbo is the way to go. If I were to spend 2K I might as well go all the way.
Right now my motor is completely torn down. I had a a bad rod. Need to machine the crank. Figured now what can I do while Im all in pieces.

I think current retail is 2150, however, I don't know what prices you might find if you shop around, I do believe our own Eddie Hill has one available for sale.

***editing my post because you edited yours***

if you have the money for everything required for turbo I would fully recommend going that way NOT a harrop because the heatsoak is still potentially present on the supercharger whereas it won't be a problem with a turbo.

sounds like money's not a huge factor so I'd say for sure go turbo if you're ready for more power.

for me it was $2000 ish for the supercharger upgrade (I got it on sale for like 1800), a turbo is going to run you 5-8k depending on how you decide to handle exhaust, intake, and internal upgrades.

If you decide to do the Harrop, I have one in stock, ready to ship, and I would appreciate your business.

it won't bother me as I'll install A/C, stereo, nav, and some subwoofers.
