A muscle car with forced induction would generally use a super charger, which is a crank driven device. A turbo charger is exhaust gas driven. In a nut shell both compress your intake air which allows you to add and burn more fuel...thereby generating more horsepower.

It is NOT a good idea, imho, to install a turbo charger on a muscle car.
