Default I have an LS in a cx hatch. Should I turbo or supercharge?

I have a LS in a 95 Civic CX Hatchback with a fully built head with Crower cams and valvetrain for forced induction. Should I turbo charge it or supercharge it?

That question is way too broad to answer.

I believe the only Honda engine thats good for a supercharger is the H22. But thats only hearsay. Have no first hand experience.

Deff. turbo ur LS. The bottom end of the LS motor is great for a turbo.

I don't autocross, but if I did, I would stay between 4 and 7k RPMs at all times. So a turbocharger would be fine for me. Do you dip below 4k when you're autocrossing?

for autocrossing, a smaller turbo with quick spool would be nice.
