considering i dont own a TVS, i really cant do that. My simple question to you is if he's running a conservative winter tune now on a (mostly) stock engine, do you really refuse to believe 25 more hp cant happen if he ports his head and makes a more agressive tune?

BTW, that kit you posted only runs a gt2860...its not gonna make 375whp either

For this guy asking a question about supercharged or turbo the answer is quite easy. Turbocharged would be much better. All he has to do it match a turbo to his stock motor and run about 8-10psi. A turbo will be much more efficient at lower psi then a supercharger. He will need bigger injectors, front mount intercooler, turbocharger, piping, and a tune. Sounds pretty simple to me, and just as cheap as a supercharged kit. Keep in mind, this is going to be a stock motor. None forged internals so nitrous and high boost is out of the question. We all know a M62 is not going to make much power at all @ 8-12psi.

this isn't my first turbo car. I've been messing with this stuff for the last 7 years.

I am new here but I am not new to boosted cars. I have built a few custom turbo Z24s . And let me tell you from experience that superchargers are more reliable. I now own a m45 Z24 and as far as reliability is concerned there is no question about it that supercharger's are alot less maintanance . As far as power goes, you are limited to the blowers maximum effieciency but that goes with turbo's also, and what a stock engine can handle. This is dragracemyz24 on jbo by the way.I have been doing custom setups for 8 years . It's all what you prefer and at the discretion of the owner. Do you want max power but sacrafice reliabilty? Or do you want some added power with no reliability issues whatsoever?
