Default Turbo vs. Supercharger

I have a 98 SS with an auto tranny and I'm looking out there to step up the power. I love the idea of a ProCharger but it is just too expesive. But then Turbo kits for Camaro are way cheaper and maybe, just maybe i can get more power out of the Turbocharger instead of the Supercharger. What do you think...?

i think ur totally backwards. usually you can get more power from a turbo because its more efficient. however they are not only more expensive to buy, but more expensive to get set up properly and tuned safely. Superchargers are much less labor intensive when it comes to KEEPING the car running.
