I want to know which way I should go with my camaro. its a '71 and has a beefed up 307 right now. I have a 350 4 bolt motor and want to know what I should do
What kind of H.P. do you want to achive?
What kind of compression are you going to build the motor to N/A?
What Kind of racing are you going to be doing?
What kind of powerband do you want?
On a carburated car i would not suggest turbocharging.

Yeah! The problem with supercharging a carbureted/throttle-bodied engine is that you have to get the air-charge UNDER the fuel-source, since it's nearly impossible to seal it to the top of it!
Better decide what all you intend to change (like, I'd dump the 'lazy' 307- quick!) before you start trying to decide on a forced-induction method!

the lazy 307 runs low 14s, I wanna get into the 12s an I have a 350 block I am doin this on as for compression, I have not rebuilt the motor, so obviosly low compression for forced induction, around 10.5:1 otherwise. Also, my uncle has been building motors for years an has built 3 turboed carb motors, I would get his help in that situation.
yeaH, i feel the same way, but I got the chance to ride in a Lingenfelter vette a couple weeks ago (the body shop I work at tinted his glass) an turbos on that car are amazing, of course anything I do cant equal that but I was def impressed
if you plan on force inducting it, DO NOT go 10.5:1 compression, you will either destroy the engine, or if your are running really low boost, you will have horrible fuel ping. try for around 8.5:1. 10.5:1 compression is barely able to run on premium pump gas. not suitable for boost. unless you plan on running say, nitro fuel or something ridiculous like that lol
