to super or turbo that is the question

First i wanna say by no means am i a tech head but from everything that i do know about cars a supercharger seems to be a much better option the a turbocharger for the 8.Anyone that is a techy that can comment on a finished product of say this around next summer availabilty
1.Supercharger prolly eaton or yaw they both seem to have something in the works
2.Exhaust of corse
3.cpu upgrades
Im thinking this setup would cost in the 6 to 7 k range and puts finished product of my car at about 40k 3k more then a g35c im 30 married with child but i need 300 horses and 220 ish torqe

not that i have anything against what you plan to do, i actually think its kinda kool, but why do you "need" 300 hp and 220ish torque? an old addiction you cant quit kick?
