10:1 is quite a bit of compression for forced induction, especially on a stock engine. If you do decide to go either way keep it simple keep it safe around 5 or less pounds of boost. Your engine compartment is very tight already i don't know where you are going to find room for either option, but I would guess the supercharger would be your best bet.

I wouldn't run forced induction on 10:1 either...

10:1 compression is a ton of compression for forced induction. You can probably find a turbo to work with your motor if not I'm sure you can make one work, but your probably gonna have to pull that motor apart and put some lower compression pistons in it. Most small superchargers and turbos boost you about 4 to 6 pounds and thats going to be way to much with 10:1 compression and a cast bottom end. It would still be a bit scary with a forged bottom end. But thats just my 2 cents worth

I read the post, googled it and there are a number of listings for this modification.
