Default Best Setup for my needs

I was hoping that you guys can help me decide what the best setup would be for me to accomplish my goals. I want a daily driver, that is wicked fast and starts every day without problems. I also want the car to be reliable and not break down, or require constant maintenance to run right. As far as performance, i would like to run into the mid 11s and still be able to drive the car to work and back. I am between some basic bolt-ons and then either an ATI Setup from ECS or a 100 shot of nitrous. What is the better setup for what i want to do?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

I would go with ECS's custom single intercooled supercharger set up but I might be a little bias

Drop your car off at ECS and have them install their custom D1SC package. You'll have no problem getting into the 11's with one of their blowers ( provided you have traction ).

Haha, I called you today Chris to order your kit, but they said you were out on a test drive. So I guess I will have to place my order tomorrow.
