I think your goal is very doable on the juice, 200 shot maybe?? You just only have the power when you're on the juice. The rest of the time, you're driving a pathetic stockish 4.8, lol. The turbo gives you power all the time whether just a little bump or a lot, it's up to you right foot, lol.

I had nitrous on my truck for a couple of years and it was my daily driver back then, i loved the power it was fun and all but iŽll give you some cons
-Your at a red light minding your own business and the vehicle next to you revs at you, usually i coudnt open my bottle fast enough to race them and when u could get the bottle open in time it was to cold (pressure was way down) and heating it up takes at least 10-20 minutes and that if your heater is in a working condition (i was on my 4th heater already) next time the bottle was empty and or least almost empty and activiting nitrous only made the truck pig rich and even slower then N/A
-Theres always the smartass asking you to run without nitrous

A turbo isnt perfect but IMO its easier being that the power is always there, dont get me wrong nitrous is a badass feeling and fun but thats just my expierence

Those are some good points, walledition. I have more experience in boost, so that is probably the route I will go. I do want to get some things out of the way first though, like gears. With a 4.8, what would be a good ratio to go with? 3.7x or 4.10 better?
