Default Recommendation: Supercharger (X-Charger) or Polished and Ported Cylinder Heads

I am trying to decide on the best route to take for my next performance upgrade. I have considered the X-charger supercharger and also Super Six polished and ported replacement heads (Stage 2+). Anyone with experience with one or more of these products want to chime in I will greatly appreciate any feedback!
Thanks.

I asked about getting a cam/head job on a 4.0l awhile back and was met with the general response being that it wouldn't get me all that much power-wise as opposed to forced induction or a stroker kit. Unless you're looking to make BIG power down the line (350+rwhp, in which case my response is trade up to a v8) then you're probably better off with the X-Charger.

Thanks for the input...I am really not interested in turning my V-6 into a beast. It is a daily driver and I want to make it as much "fun" as possible. I am fairly certain that I am going to go with the X-charger.
Thanks again!

Im actually going to add a cam and heads forged crank and pistons, right before I go put on a turbo, that is the only reason Im going with the heads though, by the way, when are they planning on comming out with the intercooler for the x-charger?
