depends on your budget, S/C is cheaper turbo grants more power. S/C makes boost off a pulley turning something to compress the air turbo make power from pressurized exhaust gas.

go with a s/c system procharger IMO at 7psi and get t-lok and 3.73's for your rear end you'll be good to go

3.73 is the highest you want to go if you are using a supercharger. 4.10 is good for n/a

it depends the psi you will be running. 7-11 psi with intercooler should be fine. 9 non-intercooled will be fine

depends on if you want a roots/twin screw supercharger or a centrifugal supercharger

roots/twin screw gives max boost at approx 3000-3500 rpm
centri starts giving boost at approx 2500-3000 rpm

centri normally are more efficient, but roots/twin screw is power on tap very useful for daily driving
