Default supercharger vs turbo

need some advice people im looking to add more power into my 01 s2k. right now im looking either the comptech supercharger or the ultimate racing turbo kit. the price is more or less about the same and i know the difference from a supercharger from a turbo kit. i want to know what would you prefer and why. right now im leaning more towards the turbo kit because of the overall better performance and less stress on the engine but the supercharger is also appealing because it doesnt have the lag like a turbo does. what do you guys think?

This topic has been discussed A LOT on this forum. If you do a quick search of turbo vs. supercharger you will find a million threads. Also, a centrifugal SC will be more laggy then a properly sized turbo in terms of making boost. With a turbo setup you can hit full boost at 4k rpm instead of 9k with a SC that won't really start building any boost until 5k rpm. Just something to think about, but whatever you decide to go with make sure you research a lot before you purchase or install either kit.
