Default mod choice for b16a

hi there my friends,
was wondering which is a better and more cost effective way of producing more power for my delsol b16a engine

1: supercharger: costs me about 2k dunno about reliability
2: turbo: costs me about 2-3k but i think more power but reliability may be worse
3: NA: do up all internals: will cost more than super or turbo, at least 5k, as got to buy the components individually plus not much improvement in torque....

do give me your valued advice!
thanks!

1. You will grow out of the supercharger.

2. A turbo requires a lot of maintenance and is not a thing that can be checked once every year, almost everyone I talk to says do not add turbos to cause that do not come turbo from the factory. Build the bottom end and then turbo it. You probably will be the happiest with this outcome.

3. Unless built right with the right parts ( which will cost you ) the car is still not gonna be fast.

it really comes down to whether you wanna go force induction or NA because both will be expensive in the longrun.
