Default All MOTOR or Supercharge on Ford sohc 4.6L

What should I go for? An all motor engine with all forge light pistions, rods, crank, stage 2 heads, and comp. cams making about 450 hp to the crank.
Or
A normal soch 4.6L supercharged with only forge pistons and rings. and a psi about 6 to 10lbs.

Which would you go for???? I think All motor?

Honestly it's whatever you want some people like the load roar of N/A engine others like the whine of a supercharger, but personally dude the supercharger is gonna be your best bang for the buck.

I would go with the supercharger, due to the fact that more power awaits in a smaller pulley, but, in doing so, later on your might as well get new cams to take full advantage of more boost, as well as a port and polish job, and lowering your compression ratio by getting new pistons, which means it would make more sense to go ahead and replace the whole rotating assembly. But if your just keeping boost to a min., then getting a supercharger would be a cheaper route.

Like said above I would build a good engine now. Because you will end up probably needing a new tranmission later on and everything too. Plus you can always throw some nitrous to it since it will already be forged. Plus like said before putting a S/C on a stock engine is a gamble. Some last some blow early.

Im running 10psi on my stock bottom end and its driven with no problems. Like everyone else said, it depends on what you want. Me, i wanted instant boost and a scream from a supercharger, so i got one and im saving for forged internals anyways. The blower now just holds me over until i have it built, then just change the pulley to add boost. Life is too short not to have a supercharged mustang, so go ahead and do it now. Just get a safe tune and have it put on right and it will be fine.

get a S/C not dont look back, a lot of poeple on here are make'n 400 plus HP at the wheels with stock bottom ends, i drive mine every day and it drives like a dream. i just got mine dyno tuned and made 401 hp and 405 tq at the wheels with just 8.5 lbs of boost. non intercooled. so a S/C on a stock bottom end is not the end of the world.
