Default to mod a FG XR8 or sell for a GS

sort of stuck with a few ideas and thought id run them past to see what people think
ok i have a FG XR8 ute with only 5500kms on clock
i am looking at starting to mod it and got a price of around $6k for a full stainless system with ceramic coated headers, cold air and cal 3 and tune
now this will give me approx 270rwkw or around there, give or take
later i want to supercharge it (do you think prices for the supercharger on the 5.4l will drop now they arnt making that motor anymore?) but in looking at that it will cost me about $14k to do this
should i just sell my ute for $38k or around there and the $6k i was going to spend on doing it up just put it towards a GS ute and get that much power straight up and then i can mod it from there
but its hard to sell something with only 5500km on it and its one of the last XR8s
just dont know what to do
any ideas
