Nitrous /
advantage
Lots of Torque at your finger tips
2put a purge on it & attract lots of attention, including LE
Disadvantage
Constantly filling a bottle ,use to be when I was running it back in the 90s was $40 for 1 bottle fill & tires are always needing replaced,
Supercharger
Advantages
1 Never have to fill a bottle, if u continually use nitrous, u will soon have spent enough money to make the charger purchase!2u can pulley up or down to increase power/ decrease ,u may need a tune with each pulley change,also it really is dependent on what ur goal is for the car ,may need a motor built & drive train if your spraying lots of gas or major boost, anything over 175 shot or 10lbs of boost consistently will eventually require a motor build over a period of time, just my 02 cents worth

I would stay N/A until you hit single digits (9's) or as close to it as you can and then spray your NANO (n20) ... instant response ... put a mother bottle in your garage and fill for 2 bucks a pound of gas if and when you feel you need to spray! 
There's nothing like beating up on supercharged cars

The bottle is much cheaper than a SC.
I get the giggles when the hood blows off the car from a
problem with the gas. Maybe I breathed in too much gas(?).
