I cant wait until I get off of this bottle, hell I fill it up every 2 weeks so thats 60 dollars a month, a few more dollars a month I could finance a blower and have power all the time, I guess thats one way to look at it.

Ive run faster than guys with my same truck and a blower, in my NA setup. Added Compression can make just as reliable horsepower as boost and get better MPG.
But in the end FI can make more because you can swap pullies where as its not feasable to have an everyday driver with over 13:1 static compression.
I think alot of guys overlook the fact that adding compression and matching the cam can make just as much HP as a blower @ 5psi do it more reliably and cost less plus still get 19 mpg on the highway.
Depends on what your goals are and what you want to spend. My heads cam cost me around 1k
