Default What direction to go

Well I am at a crossroads... I keep thinking I want a bigger blower but I want to see what some others thoughts are. Currently I have a 416 with 9.7:1 compression, V3 Si blower (3.4" pulley and stock diameter ATI balancer), 232/238 cam, 15gph meth nozzle and running just a BAP with my factory fuel system on 93 octane. Well I keep thinking I should just get a YSi and build a fuel system but that also means 8 rib conversion or flip drive so I started to think... maybe I should just do nitrous and then I could tone down the power on the street. From others experience... which way do you guys think I should go. I kind of have a 900whp goal in mind which would be relatively easy with a YSi. Currently I sit at 707/670.

You need a bigger blower for sure.

I would do the n2o. Keep it mild for street use, and spray when needed. Great thing about n2o is $1k on a kit and you should be good. Other options are $2500 on blower, $1500 on drive, $1500 on fuel, etc.

If you have $5k+ laying around, go bigger blower, but I'm a big fan of n2o now.
