I'd do more PSI personally....I'm not a fan of nitrous. The boost is always on tap, and is regulated by your foot...it's not like you're gonna be driving around at full boost/WOT all the time. I wouldn't do nitrous until you've hit the practical limits of the s/c.

You're probably going to need a methanol kit either way too.

Cool, so I can really get away with going .010 over, forged internals, Maggie and a Trans with a small shot to get me where I want to be, right? I guess that the only thing now is the price difference between boring .010 and .030, because the rest should be very close in price, I imagine.

On top of a 75 shot? Won't that play hell on tuning it?

I dunno...never ran N2O. trever1t is running spray through his Radix though, hopefully he'll see this thread and reply.

I really don't think you'll need it though with a 122 head unit on there.

Its not that simple. Its not like you are going to be forcing down 500hp every time you drive it. A benefit of boost over nitrous is that your PCM tune understands boost and compansates for varying conditions. While nitrous is typically bypasses most tuning and is probably harder on a stock engine.

I say just get a good blower, have it setup to make whatever power you want, and just enjoy the truck.

good point. That bring on the topic of weather conditions year round. I live in Orlando, where its hot, ALL THE TIME, so meth is def. a good idea, as far as boost goes. And I imagine that just maintaining the blower (and associated issues) is a better idea.

Bolt a MP122 Magna Charger on your truck and call it a day.

I respectfully disagree. As stated above you don't have to be at WOT to take advantage of the added psi. You can have 300/400/500hp or anywhere between with control of the right foot. Nitrous is fun but hits all at once.

Not really. I only run a 50 shot for now but run meth full time.
