383 or supercharger daily driver?

ok heres the thing this is a daily driver car all stock want more power no naawws maybe later but i want real power first drove everyday and maybe go to a strip once a month i have a 5.7 350 tpi 125,000 miles so this is what i figure when i compare the two setups i might be wrong about the numbers but i think im pretty close
(383 setup)-1000 for stroker kit,1250 for apr heads,1250 for super ram,500 in machine work total-4000

super charger-3500 pro charger,500-ported heads and tpi,500 in rebuil total-4500

now i know this doesnt include other charges like cam but i just left it out since i probaly got to get a new one for either setup now remember this is a daily driver and i know a 383 will guzzle more gas but im not really goin make that as big of a decideing factor as long as im getting 15,16,17 mpg
only dilema is i caculated the 383 stoker will give 450 hp and alot more torque 383-360hp heads-60,70hp superram-20,30hp
and supercharger will give me around 420 hp thats with 7 or 8 pounds of boost since daily driver ported heads and tpi-20hp super charger 75% of 240 is around 420 hp but 30 hp isnt really horribly big difference its the torque i ll get alot more torque with 383 and with supercharger the same torque as the stoch 350 block which is aight so what do u guys think i should do

first off, where did you get your hp figures from? the procharger one maybe accurate compared to the 383 guess.

that said, i say you go for a turbo. the turbo will get you good peak numbers that are good for dyno racing, but it will also get you the area under the curve. the boost is adjustable from the driver seat thus helping with streetability. whats ever better is that your not always making boost, part of the time your running in vaccum which will HELP gas mileage.
