What if I were to put the Manifold from Hughes onto

Turbo has greater potential, but would require at least some exhaust modification to make it worth it, plus you can change your boost much easier than with a supercharger. Superchargers are cool, but you'll have a lot of parasitic power loss since it is driven by the crank and not the exhaust like a turbo is.

Coming from someone who's been there, done that, it's clear you need to do a lot more reading, the info is out there.

That said, I'm a turbo guy. But keep an eye out for the Kenne Bell upgrade kit coming soon http://zcodeperformance.com/index.html

I need to apologize to the OP. I see your engine is not stock. I would research the cost of doing both I think a turbo would be easier and cheaper (if you can get a kit for the engine) having said that your may get better HP with the mechanical supper charger.
Let us all know how it goes.
