If you wanted to produce more power, would it be more hassle to upgrade to a turbo or stick with a better supercharging unit?

I'm a newb when it comes to supercharging, whats the difference between twin-screw, centrifrugal, etc.. ? Which is best for which?

If you're talking the 07 GT500, it would probably be a lot easier to go with a Kenne Bell twin screw rather than turbo because it is essentially a bolt on with that car since it already has a roots-style blower on it.
Turboing that car would be a hassle.
