Best thing to do to a AU2 XR8 Tickford ute (200kw)

[blakey72]

I've got a 2001 Falcon Au2 XR8 ute 200kw. It has a few things done to it, pacemaker extractors, 2.5" twin exhaust, K&N filter and not sure what else. This is sin on here but I'm used to a 13b turbo RX2 and I want the XR8 to have more power. It has decent torque down low but doesn't have anywhere near the pull of the RX2.

Would it be better to get a turbo for it or supercharge it? No idea on forced induction on these big engines. I love it to bits but don't know how to make it happy. Which is the cheaper/easier way to go? I want to keep it 'Tickford' so don't really want to drop a huge, different engine into it.

Cheers
Blake.

Turbo or charge, Raptor charge is best bang for buck
