Default DD friendly?

Which build would be more DD friendly? F/I up too say 650-700 or a car pushing 650-700 on nitrous?

As far as DD goes i mean overrall ride quality, gas consumption etc...

How smooth would the nitrous car run when the nitrous tune is not in use and your "DD" tune is.

I would expect that the Nitrous setup would be easier on your engine because it's not in use all the time.

When you're using the nitrous I don't know which would be easier on the engine

Course I could be completly wrong as well.

I dont think you can get to 600+ just on N2O.... you need F/I and a crap load of engine upgrades in either case... maybe a TT setup.... expect 10K+ in upgrades w/ labor IMO...then you run into the drive train isses..clutch..tranny.... rear end.... that's a ton of HP to be getting down

I understand that, but im wandering if its possible to have a built engine to handle something like a 250-300 shot of nitrous with a direct port system or something similar to put me in the 600+hp range, then when the fun is over run a more civilized tune for the drive home. Just looking into other options. Im running F/I now and am very happy with it, just looking at other options that might be viable in the future.
