Supercharger or any boost for that matter is nice. TO me the only reason to go the all out street N/A build would be if you dont want to drop alot of money at one time (bad at saving money) or if you just want to keep it N/A for your own personall reasons (which is completly ok, its your car).

But for the bang for the buck, i would look at a single turbo kit (hellion, Granetelli (sp), or Powerhouse) or a non centri supercharger (KB, Wipple, Saleeen, magna). All of these FI kits are designed for street driving, so you wont see lag on the bottom end, rough idles, etc. You could start with the base kit (no intercooler or fuel system) for that 400hp and spend about 3500 (keep in mind a cam kit is about 1200, LT and xpipe is another 1200, so the N/A prices will build up fast).

as for looking stock, all the turbo kits and 1/2 of the SC kits will fit under the stock hood. Ive heard alot of people say the KB and saleen are really quiet, so wont have that obnoqious whine at idle and daily driving.
