I will never run nos but thats just me its a very good cost per
horse power way to go. Turbo system would be great lots of
dollars. you need tough pistons for both. Even with a smaller 100hp
system nos don't let anyone tell you can get by with cast or hyper
pistons if you want to do the job right. not sure what you are wanting
in the way of differences.

NOS gets tricky if your not set up for it. It's the cheapest way to go though. You could also just use a 25-50 Hp shot and you should be fine. Depends on the condition of your engine.
Turbo setup is good but expensive.
Superchargers are a good way because they add a lot of power, depends on boost, and can be easilly installed. You can buy a SC kit for about $3500. I think this includes a intercooler. Superchargers are a little tempermental though when it comes to the weather. They don't like heat.

How much money do you got?
