What are your plans with the use of the car? Strictly track? Lots of street driving?

If I was just building a car to run fast at the track and wasn't going to use the power much on the street then I would go nitrous for sure. I have had it on 3 mustangs, filling the bottle gets old FAST but it is cheap power and reliable if you follow the rules.

Theres a reason blowers cost more money, if you can afford one get one.

I had nitrous. Got sick of filling the bottle and havin to open a bottle flip a switch ect when wantin to run it. Sometimes people roll up on the street and you cant do that fast enough or even at all. I ended up going supercharged. Vortech with anderson power pipe and aftercooler setup. Im making 440 rwhp and its capable of more if i want to blow my motor up lol. Im glad i did the switch because its there whenever you want it but nitrous is instant and cheap.

I got it used for 2k. It came with vortech v2 vortech aftercooler anderson power pipe 2.95 pulley injectors sct eliminator chip and all bolts bracket ect. Only thing i needed was a belt and boostapump. The unit was just rebuilt so basically new. The boostapump was around 300 i think and 400 in tuning. I got a steal as there is over 7k in all the supercharger stuff that i have and i have around 3k in it. I had to rrlocate the battery to trunk for the water box and install it all myself which was easy but i work at a shop so had all the right tools
