Turbo is nice but really complex. A supercharger is much simpler to pull off. You have a couple choices.
1. The traditional supercharger on top the engine (roots or twin screw)
2. A centrifugal mounted on the front of the engine
As far as power on stock internals there are documented cases of as much as 15lbs boost on stock internals, that being said I would stick around that 10lb mark for a reliable daily driver.
For 9-10lbs boost you should be able to get around 350RWHP which is a whole lot of fun. Or more conservative would be 6-7lbs boost which your stock fuel system will handle nicely and still get you a strong 300+RWHP.
My 2 cents.

There is a bolt on Roots kit from down under for a reasonable expenditure; if you think $8400 without shipping is reasonable.
