Default Supercharged vs. Hi-Rev with Nitrous

What would a supercharged car feel like compared to a hi-reving naturaly aspirated car with nitrous.

Ex:

1990 fox mustang 5 spd- 302, GT40X heads, E303 Cam, GT40 Intake, Paxton Novi 2000, 3.90 gears, 26x9" Drag Radials
487 RWHP/ 476 RWTQ @12 psi

1990 fox mustang 5 spd- 302, AFR 185 heads, X303 Cam, Trickflow R Intake, NX 150 wet shot, 4.30 gears, 28x10.5" Drag Slicks
482 RWHP/ 520 RWTQ with 150 shot

Would the nitrous car feel anything like the supercharged car on the street ??????????????

It is using a 150 shot.

What will the traction be like in both cars ?????????

Just curious because I never rode in a supercharged car.

Just came in from the garage for a break and a beer...just put my computer back in...had JMS burn 3 tunes into my SCT chip so I can put a few miles on the new motor before it hits the dyno..

Anyway.... Boost Rocks....I have had both and I enjoy the blower more...plus with a supercharged car that power is just a second away...with NOS you have to open the bottle first etc....

Traction sucks in a supercharged car unless you have the suspension really set up...

Example...before I blew my blower this summer and decided to go nuts and rebuild the whole motor...I could drop from 3rd to 2nd anytime going under about 45mph and the tires would break loose. That was a stock bottom end...GT-40s, Trick Flow cam, Holley Intake, 75mm TB and 9lbs of boost. I also have decent Nitto tires...
