I have an '04 extended cab Silverado with a 5.3L engine. I'm wanting to add some extra power but I don't know which one would be best for my engine: turbo or supercharger?

They're both nice. They just have a different feel to them. Superchargers (especially twin-screws) have "right-now" power. Basically, you feel it as soon as you put your foot down. Turbos have more of a mid-range, high-end pull. Just depends on what kind of power you're looking for.
