I have always wanted to do a forced induction 200. When I created my current motor I didn't have the time and money to complete a custom induction motor so I went with a high compression high rpm build. Now that I do have some time and some funds saved up I want to tackle the application of Forced Induction.
I have two options: M90 Supercharger or T04 Turbocharger (I have both of these in my garage)
My current and single biggest problem is the compression ratio I am currently running. I have 10.2:1 compression! Now I am looking to run 7-10psi of boost. I figure the easiest way to lower my compression is to use a thicker head gasket, to get it down in the 9.7:1 range. Along with that run an intercooler and water/alcohol injection to get by on premium pump gas. (This is my cruiser/ track car not a daily driver)
I am leaning towards the using the M90 because i dont have to replace my headers and I have a partially built mount for it already. I would have to pop in a different dizzy from the DUI because of clearance. I would also have to get a pulley machined but that can be done at a machine shop. What are your thoughts on this decision? Forget the supercharger and go with the turbo?
Here is a picture of my mock up on my old motor.

I'm just looking for some guidance, thoughts, ideas, and comments.
