After thinking things over and some serious research, I have decided I am going to go with the nitrous. I like the idea of my engine not always being under boost and "purges" are also cool. Thanks for helping me with the decision guys, next post from me will be a video of my car dyno...I'm so excited!!
My only problem with nitrous is refilling the bottle, bottle warmers, basically more to think about.

Your engine is not always under boost with any blower or turbo. The boost by pass valve bleeds off the boost it makes until you pass a certain throttle position. It will drive like a normal gt, but have way more power everywhere.

Maybe I should just change rear end gears to liven the engine up. My car is an Eleanor clone and badged as a gt500. I want something that will change performance significantly because I feel kinda stupid riding around in a car that's suppose to have 500 hp but only has 300

Yes get those badges off of there. That is the #1 no no in the auto world....fake badges. It sounds like you bought it that way so its not your fault but its BS, take em off.
Nitrous......no f#cking way. Really bad idea. Supercharger, hell no another bad idea. Your 16 and dont have the budget for repairs. Just do some gears and get a tune-cai from brenspeed. That alone will liven up the car a lot.
How bout some pics too.

As stated above, unless you have a pool of money to rely on for repairs, say no to the S/C, especially if done half azzed. That includes nitrous.
You're currently at about 265 RWHP stock. Two biggest power gainers other than going FI are the CAI & tune and cams & LT's. Either combo will net you about 20-25 RWHP. After that it's nickle and dime power gains.

Save your money for a house. Spend a little of it to get it out of your system on something like a CAI then squirrel the rest away. I guess I'm officially old since I'm giving advice to teens that my parents would. FML
