Supercharged vs turbocharged
I plan on getting my 05 Z next month and I wanna put one of the two to give it some speed. Which one of these would give the most power but at the same time not damage my engine. Also from my understanding its good to add a intercooler to keep the heat down is it actually needed. What can I add instead to stay away from the ricer look?

You can hide your intercooler in the trunk. Make sure it is as far away from your engine as possible so that it works efficiently.
You definitely want to go single turbo over twin turbo to avoid DOUBLE lag. The benefits here being a low torque curve coupled with ridiculous horsepower. You could probably never hit boost until 5000rpm so you save gas at the same time below 5000rpm. Stock internals are all good for this but you should replace the brakepads at the same time. I like to drill my own rotors to cool them down and you should buy the ceramic brake pads because they last a lot longer.
If you do not want to damage your engine, run nitrous oxide. You can have it mix in with your gas like a 2-stroke mixes oil and gas(duh, that's why they call it TWO stroke, to mix the TWO together). It will make your car shoot fireballs sometimes but they are so swanging you know.

Really?
I dont put it past anyone these days.
Especially if they were born after 1993.
Internet came out in my 2nd year of college... and it was mostly text only.. and the screen was amber.
I blame that for being halfway normal.
btw.. OP can die.
Please.

Like people have posted, drill your own rotors + pads etc. You will also need to make sure you are running Meth+water mix into the oilpan to further cool the oil going to the turbo. Some people have been known to route their A/C ducts to the turbo to avoid turbo lag. Also remove your upper plenlum alltogether to make sure all the runners get good amount of air from the trunk mounted intercooler.
