The items you mentioned above will NOT yield up to a 30 HP increase. More realisticly ~10-12 HP.

If your SC or turbo is installed properly, and you maintain it correctly, you should not experience reliability problems.

If you were already running 300 hp you might get the "up to 30hp", but not with what you're putting out now. Superchargers are nice, but they are more for the big blocks like a Mustang Cobra. You would be much happier with a turbo. You can run up to 6 psi with the stock PT motor and if you want higher boost you'll have to go internal like Ant did and that's more money but worth it. Do it right and you won't have any reliability issues and if you are planning on keeping it 10 more years it would be a good investment. Check out Bob Stokum's web site if you are interested. That's where Ant had his turbo done.
