    I would go with a turbocharger. If you do your own welding and customization you can save a lot of engine space with a turbo.

    Superchargers mostly reach RPMs of 30,000 to 70,000 this means that in order to achieve a bigger boost pressure you need a bigger supercharger

    while turbochargers can reach well beyond 100,000 RPM reducing their size/weight when giving the same boost pressure.

    this is a tough one.
    I'd say a variable turbochrger by Garret is the best way to go. minimal Lag, better than supercharger on high RPM.
