Question best power adder

hey guys, so im super confused about what route to take with the power adder. whats the best power adder in your guys opinion? n20? turbo? s/c? what are some cons about n2o? kind of leaning towards that. its the cheapest and with a good n20 tune i havent heard of any problems. just like to get some opinions from my fellow 5.0 owners. thanks guys. oh the cars engine has stock everything except for bbk cai and pulleys. thanks again guys!

Personally I would go with a forced induction set up. Granted, a nitrous kit will be cheaper starting off but factor in the cost of having to fill bottles and it'll add up.

I saw a saying somewhere once. "With nitrous, it's not a matter of IF something will break, it's simply a matter of WHEN." Even with a good tune, chances are something will let go, a good backfire and you'll probably be replacing something.

Depends on what you want to do with the car. Nitrous has the benefit of turning it on and off when you want. I personally like nitrous because of the cost. I dont have 4k to come out of pocket for a supercharger but do have $40 to fill a bottle whenever I need to. They both have pros and cons. Dont let n20 scare you though. It can be just as safe as a supercharger or turbo.
