Way too broad of a question. Looking for street performance? drag strip? road racing? Planning on keeping the car for a long time? All of these are expensive upgrades.

I've had the exact car that you are driving. The question you ask is very, very broad as mentioned above. If you're looking for all-out HP numbers for bragging rights and nothing else, turbos will get you there. They are also BY FAR the most finicky, will have the most issues, are the most expensive systems to install, are super complicated, and will be a massive headache. Ask me how I know. If you want extra kick on the street, then a supercharger is your choice. A ProCharger is just a brand of supercharger, so that doesn't really matter. Something to keep in mind is that with any of these options, you are looking at an easy $10k expense. Along with whichever you choose, there are other components that will need to be upgraded such as: radiator, fuel injectors, fuel pump, belts, engine internals, and you'll need a dyno tune from a reputable shop to tie it all together. Money being no object, I would opt for a Whipple or Kenne Bell kit. If you are looking more towards a "budget friendly" option, if you want to consider saving a grand or two, you could get a nice Vortech setup. Other things to consider are how much whine do you want to hear from the supercharger? Vortech, Whipple, and Kenne Bell are all loud setups, whereas a more expensive Edelbrock system would be much quieter. Sorry for the long post, but this question requires an answer that is a lot more than a few sentences. Hopefully this post helps you in your decision. Just remember, ANY power adder does decrease the lifespan of your motor since you are putting a lot more stress on all of your drivetrain parts. You'll also want to make sure your transmission and rear end can handle the added power, which may require even more expense to upgrade depending on what kind of numbers you are looking to make.
