Well whipple isn’t a option for the 95 Gt personally I prefer superchargers , vortech or procharger

budget and the time you have to dedicate to it(if you are doing the work yourself or paying for it) have a lot to do with it, as well as what the end plans are for the car. It also depends on what you consider mild....

I have a lot of experience with turbo setup and I like them,,,BUT they are a deep dive, If you want the simplest then the centrifugal are the way to go. you really need an intercooler with anything.
where you get into trouble is the tuning,, the old T4MO computer will work with the right setup,, but you really should switch to something modern, there are a LOT of reasons why.
The fuel system will approach 500hp ( iffy) with a 340l pump and 60lb inj. remember the lines are tiny.
don't let anybody sell you a Canned tune. I don't care who they are or who they think they are. it will cost you a motor , head gaskets at the least. anybody that tells you you DON't need a WB is as full of sorry information and opinions as ttocks.
Be a conservative capitalist's and get GOOD info from some place other than HERE. Socialist are un-American drifters, just not smart enough to know it.

I've owned all 3...

Nitrous:

Upsides: Is the cheapest (unless you get greedy = kaboom!). Is easiest to package in a vehicle. Horsepower on demand! Subzero intake charge temp helps to keep things nice and cool! Can be a "best friend" to turbo / supercharger applications where intake charge temps are you worst enemy. In both examples, a small 50 shot can result in 100 hp wheel EASILY.

Downsides: Filling bottles gets to be a pain! Very tune dependant.

Turbo:

Upsides: (in general) makes the most horsepower. Easy to "dial up more horsepower" as long as you have the fuel capacity.
Downsides: Can be most expensive depending on application / fabrication requirements. Can be difficult to package underhood. Intake charge temps can be difficult to manage. Turbo choice can lead to undersireable results. Size the turbo for little to no lag and your top end will suffer, as the smaller the turbo, the more the exhaust restriction. Size the turbo for top end and there is undesireable lag. IMO, while "FUN!", turbo cars can be frustrating for a street / strip car that you wish to perform well accross the RPM range. Very tune dependent.

Supercharger:

This one depends on what form of supercharging...IMO...so staying general

Upside: Has the best driveability / overall satisfaction accross the RPM range. Has the best exhaust flow / sound. Much easier to tune.

Downsides: Can be most expensive depending on application / fabrication requirements. Can be difficult to package underhood. Intake charge temps can be difficult to manage. Belt tension can be biggest hurdle but is generally when trying to overspin a setup,

My favorite BY FAR is supercharging. I've found it to be the most dependable, reliable, consistent, enjoyable to drive. Of the supercharger types, positive deplacement (intercooled) is my favorite, although can be difficult to package when not an O.E. type setup.

well said machsvt , I agree I prefer supercharged setups as well . The procharger on my car finally went in for servicing the units been in the car since 2006. Drivability is like a factory car powerband is more linear and comes in right away .

I have a turbo on my 2v with 3.27s and before that a procharger with 4.10s. I would recommend a blower. Centri or roots style.

I would only recommend a turbo if you have an automatic, are obsessed with racing. Or have way too much time on your hands as to tinker with it all the time. Stick shift and turbos are "okay" but they seem to net disappointing results in comparison to their automatic equivelants.
