Default Engine upgrade

Ok ive been saving some money for some time now and im ready to do somthing drastic with the engine. I drive a 99 teg ls auto and im not sure what whould be the best to do to it. Do I go turbo, jackson supercharger or is it even possibly to go V-tec with my auto. Like havin an auto tranny it would seem that i would always be hittin v-tec. Also wondering how much most these mods would cost w/install. I have priced jackson supercharges and i had a shop tell me $3600 installed and they could do it in a 1.5 days. Also what would be a possile engine swap w/o havin to do a tranny swap.

u can do a ls/vtec hybrid, if u want vtec, just gotta find the appropiate gsr head to slap onto ur ls block, and rig up the oil connectors and id suggest getting a gsr ecu to run it all,
or..
go with a turbo, u can easily get a t3/t4 turbo for 500 dollars get the necessary plumbing, intercooler, wastegate, boost controller, turbo timer, etc for 3600$,
or u can just go with ur jackson racing supercharger but these are kinda over priced, put hot air into the cylinder which can cause really high pressures in there as apposed to a intercooled/turbo setup which would give u the same dense air that has a lot cooler ambient air temperature. but ur choice u can even just

shoot a 55 shot of n2o'
buy a msd system to give u a better ignition system to avoid detonation, and just run colder spark plugs all this would only cost u around 800-900 dollars and ud have extra money for other things, but teho u decide what u want to do with ur car, good luck.
