Agree with the others, lots of pros and cons for both. Keep researching and keep in mind, as you go for the really big increases, like over 550 rwhp you'll then need to start investing in heavy duty drivetrain parts to handle that power. I see you have posted in some of the Forced Induction threads. That's great, there's a lot of information and opinions of professional installers in these threads. I knew nothing about this stuff until I got this car and started reading about it.
Keep learning, then use one of their unique features as a deciding factor.
The maggies do look awesome, especially in those see-thru hoods! If you want something different check out the Kenne Bell units, more of a retro look. Jr's right, the Procharger is nice. Saw one installed down at Craig's shop. It had a really nice fit and didn't alter the look of the engine. And they put out huge numbers. (if you don't mind the whine) The new Edelbrock system installs easily and doesn't use as much boost, protecting your engine.
As far as the turbo, keep in mind you may have to ditch your brand new headers or exhaust for one of those. But I may be wrong, there's all kinds of turbo systems out there.
If I remember, Craig at Cincy gave you a quote for an Edelbrock SC a while back and you thought it was expensive at that time. You might check that out again. These guys got 429 RWHP on an automatic w/mods and tune:
Edelbrock
That's just over 500 fwhp
Or, this may be your solution: Both.......
