I'm looking to get a little more power out of my N/A, and I've narrowed it to these two options. I don't want to get a turbo because I'd rather be more unique, plus I'm not looking for a lot of power.

With a supercharger I'd be looking to do a cheaper set-up with a used charger and have a shop make the brackets and stuff. I'd probably want to run about 5 psi with that.

For a port job, I'd want to do a bridge on the aux ports, and street port the rest of the stuff.

Which one would cost more (including all support mods), and which one would yield more power?

I would do both, but I only make $350 a week. Damn good for a 17 y/o, but still not a whole lot of money.

How much more would the s/c cost? I'm looking for a good condition used one, not a new one.

Get the streetport first then drop in the supercharger when you get more money.

If you're on a budget, you may want to consider a 50 shot wet kit.. check out the nitrous write up in the FAQ section.
