Default Supercharger or turbocharger for an 06 1500 4.7

I have a 2006 ram 1500 4.7 liter, I'm looking for more power out of it. I already have a k&n high flow intake and flowmaster super 44 exhaust on it. I would like to know what would be better to do, a supercharger or turbocharger, and where I could find one.

I say wait on those, first off go with a new cam, and sct tuner. You will see a ton of increase (so I hear) from these mods. Then I would say go with a turbo, then sct will get you a new custom tune. Your truck will be extremely fast after these two mods.

do you have a tuner of any sort on there? that should definitely come first before you start talkin turbocharging and supercharging, in my opinion. max out your normally aspirated options, then if its still not enough and you got $4000 you wanna throw into it, go for forced induction.

A cam and a tuner will make a big difference, everybody thinks a supercharger is the only answer, but for 4 grand you can build one badass naturally aspirated engine.
