HC+Nitrous all the way. You'll be in the 12s N/A and in the 11s on juice. You could have close to 330rwhp with the right set of cams and ported heads N/A. Hell, If you do a set of TFS heads and stage 2+ cams you could be in the 350rwhp range. Throw a 100-125 shot on top of that and you will have a beast of a DD and one hell of a weekend warrior.

yea, look into the turbo option a bit more. Nothing wrong with H/C/N2O or S/C, just the turbo is generally a better setup. On3 and pony down are some good starting kits to build off of too. Whatever path you go you won't be disappointed
oh yea, someone mentioned ported TF heads and stage 2 cams, that would be completely boss with N2O. You could only run a 50-75 shot though, lol

H/C alone is enough power for low 12s.....there are plenty of guys running H/C/nitrous on stock bottom ends. Maybe not a 125 shot, but say an honest 325rwhp with fully ported heads and a nice set of N/A cams plus a 75-100 shot would be plenty safe on the stock bottom and wouldn't require any more RPM than the stock bottom can spin.
If you did the TFS heads + cams route and made close to 350rwhp, that's almost what people are seeing with the entry level blowers anyway.

cost for cost though, your probebly looking at the same price for either. heads arent cheep and neither are cams, even if nitrous kits are. (and even some of those arent cheep) Id say SC, for a few reasons. There all the time. as much fun as it sounds to push a button and go faster, its a pain, i mean you gotta open the bottle, then when it runs out you have to fill it, likly you wont drive around with it open either, so that corvette at the light will smoke you again and again. Besides its mainly a track use only thing, so unless your happy with a slower car until you go to the track WHY?!!! and on the subject of torque....get a turbo. lol that solves all your problems, more torque and power when you want, ability to run 600rwhp by just bumping psi, no pullie changes, or empty bottles. of course turbos arent cheep, so were we talking 1500 SC sticky, or a kit? lol

Ok so the button is a little outdated. But none the less even with a window switch or somthing, bottle has to be on....and honestly i imagine for daily use a button would be safer, ive heard of sticky or malfunctioning window switchs that cost people thier motors. altho thats still possible with a button. lol. in anycase TURBO!
