I say go for the greddy!!!
You can alwayz upgrade the compressor and 60whp is a pretty descent gain to start. Throw in a mid pipe, straight through exhaust and tune. Should add another 25+whp.
300whp in a 3000lb car should be good for high 12z 1/4 mile
Superchargers are good too but they take power to make power. plus adds more strain to the powertrain.

Remember the Greddy has given consistent 60-70 whp gains on a 170-180 whp car that is 1/3 more hp+. Also it is a great value at $2900. The SSR turbo kit, if the 280-290 whp figure is to be believed is a 100-110 whp gain. For more money though. Not sure how much more you should expect . especially on a car that dynos at around 170-180 whp stock. It might be different if it was a big V8 with large displacement. For $2900 who can complain.

The biggest thing to consider is your driving style. In spite of all the arguments that tend to come from likes and dislikes I am a firm believer that throttle response is superior in a supercharged car vs a turbocharged car.
If you are looking for the highest horsepower boost go to a turbo. If you love the fast throttle response when coming out of corners etc then I am sure that you would be happier waiting for a supercharger.
In short a supercharger will feel more like dropping in a more powerful engine.
