dilemma for my 95 GTP

need some advice what should i do
plan A get a supercharged 3.8 and swap it into my 95 after rebuilding it with low compression pistons forged rods and set up for 75 shot of NOS.
plan B rebuilt the 3.4 with low compression pistons and forged rods and set that up with NOS. i see tuners makeing crazy hp out of DOHC motor so why wouldnt a domestic 3.4 DOHC be just as good? also the possiblity of a turbo for the 3.4 i found a company that makes them but its for the 3.4 pushrod V6 in the grand am so ill need a custom computer to control it.
i like the 3.4 i have but its too slow on top end, with the shift kit its fun around town so i figured a chip and Nos should fix that.
or should i go with the supercharged 3.8 and NOS? keep in mind that the swap will cost more money plus running nos im definatly getting a limited slip differential, an aluminum radiator and a cooler thromostat. i think ill neeed those for both applications. any advice?
i'd also like to know what the bore is for the 3.4 and the 3.8 so i can figure how much each will cost to rebuild with the right pistons. I already have a guy that will rebuild, port and polish the heads, and exhaust.
i can save some money on the swap if i use my 4t60E tranny thats already rebuilt it will match up with the 3.8 right? if im not mistaken
any help would be appreciated!
