That would be pretty kick ass.. there are some great benefits to N/A, ie: no belts, no hair dryers no depending on some local shop to try and build you a kit etc etc.
Blower or N/A unless i scored a nice deal on an HP turbo kit.... Blowers are just easy

You can find the odd Powerdyne 6lb kit on the Corral for $700-1000 USD sometimes, for a good complete kit. Factor in a fuel pump, injectors, adjustable regulator and a tune and you're golden. So for under $2k your car will have a reliable 300hp and be lots of fun to drive.
Personally, on an 86 GT there are a few other mods I would do before a blower. Most would suggest doing a Mass Air conversion, but with a tune the Speed Density system can work very well with a blower. I would definitely upgrade to the 87+ E7TE heads and intake, but if you're willing to spend a bit more you can always find good used Explorer GT40P heads and intake which flow substantially more than the stock 87 pieces. Upgraded exhaust should also be done, and if you're planning on a blower then 3.73 gears would probably be best.

I like Blowers.

I don't wanna wait for my turbo to decide to spool before I get all my power, with a blower, the power is right there all the time....although a lot of the new turbos have very little spool time and we all know that turbos make more power than blowers, so I dunno.....I suppose I'd try a new small ball bearing turbo instead of a blower but the coolest sound in the world IMO is the sound of a big ol roots winding out

Turbo lag is a myth. And what the hell is a small ball bearing turbo? I'm not a big fan of blowers, roots blowers are limited and sacrifice top end power for low end grunt.... while centrifugal blowers don't give you full boost til redline. A properly matched turbo setup will give you instant boost and good top end power, so its better than both.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever owned a supercharged or turbo car?

^yep, I've had a Buick Park Ave that I turbo'd but it wasn't all that impressive....used a turbo and wastegate from a Caravan. I bought a 10 pound spring for the wastegate. It was still a pretty cool thing to see....an 88 Park ave smoke the tires off, but it wasn't the fastest car I ever drove. The plan was to make it as close to a Grand National as I could(motor wise), but it's not the same motor. Ended up severly twisting the subframe of that car which happened to be rusted and it dropped going down to the lake. Big deal though, bought it for $100

And,I haven't had a supercharged car yet, but I've driven enough of them, from Stock Grand Prix GTPs to 800Hp Lightnings with Whipple Chargers.....even a 69 Chevelle with a BDS 8/71

Although I don't know much about Centrifigul's, they must be pretty good since most of the power adder mustangs are either Turbo or S-Trims/T-trims.

BTW turbo lag is NOT a myth.....obviosly never a truck driver were you.

man, i so totally agree. Tag Motorsport did my first turbo kit. It made silly power but was a total POS on the street.

Looking back, its more like my car was a guinea pig

There's your problem. I built my own true DIY setup and it worked fantastic, I'm addicted to turbo boost thanks to it. And my car never ran well either! In your case, thats what happens when you toss a HUGE ass turbo on a 306!! But you're going to have tons of fun with the car now that its getting the blower on a stout motor.
