You can use NOS but I would not go over 100 to 125 shot because hyper pistons dont like much more.
I think you can use a super charger too, many companys make them for stock engines and they have about 10 to 11 compression but you just cant have a lot of bost when you use them on a engine with a lot of compression.
If you go NOS or SC just make sure you use good gas too.
