Well I'm by no means an "expert" in this area, but if you had a good cold air intake, long tube headers, high-flow cat back exhaust, supercharger such as a magnacharger (about 10-12lbs boost), and a tune....easily 600+rwhp. There are also other ways such as different ported intakes and cams that can add substantial HP....all with a good tune of course. You also have the option of a smaller pulley on superchargers for more power out of them. I don't have anything against turbos, except for they're known to produce quite a bit more heat....which is why some go for the STS (rear mounted turbo) system.....and also for the lack of space available under the hood.

Longevity wise...I would think both systems would be very comparable.

There are quite a few posts on other threads that go more indepth into the pros and cons of each, and I'm not too knowledgable on NOS or meth injections.
