haha, I'll be nice, and I'm bored.
1.) not hte supercharger won't fit without modifications to the engine bay,a nd the supercharger only gets you about 50 WHP for $3500 which isn't worth it in my oppinion, AND you would need headers and a custom exaust system to reap the full benefits of the SC.
2.) you CAN get a turbocharger on there, BUT it will need to be custom and the Transmission can't handle that much more HP, so you would have to get the "bullet proof" transmission fro www.dreviltransmissions.com .
If you really want to give the car more power get a Cold air intake, exhaust headers (which need to be bent a little to fit (use the search button)), and custom exhaust piping and muffler. For a little extra OOMPH I suggest getting a wet nitrous kit (ZEX makes good ones), and if you are gonne be driving the car hard (ie. racing) you should DEFINITELY get a transmission cooler. I got one and installed it myself in about 45 minutes ( there is also a topic showing how to install it with pictures).
The search button is yoru friend.

I learned a lot of things change over time as the "best" and I gotten some pretty wrong information in the past from searches.

rmstoico (sp?) had a supercharger on... had some problems took it off...
i don't think anyone here has turboed the 3.0... perhaps over on v6performance...?? i don't visit there, im a 4-banger.
people have turboed the 2.2/2.3 and the h22 on here.
yeah the "best" is relative.
