which power adder? blower?

background: camaro is getting redone while I'm on deployment for the next year, I ship out august roughly. anyways, the body will be done while I'm gone, and I plan on doing the rest myself when I come home, I was going to buy something new, but I'd rather do this car wild.

I already have the 9" third member, I still need the housing, the trans will be a 6 speed. I have a couple 350 laying around, but I also have access to a 454 and a 400. I'm thinking a 406 with a Wieland sitting on it. the car won't see a lot of miles, maybe 2-3,000 a year if that. would it be cheaper/more streetable to run a twin turbo set up? I don't really care about the track times, I won't put a cage in it......at least I don't want too. besides I have a 9 sec bike for that.
----------
also, rear end gears will be 4.10 or 4.56

I would say turbo for sure, but 4.10 is way to high(numerically) of a gear for turbos. What branch you in... Army here..HOOAH.
