How much you got to spend? Big difference in price between those 3.

price is the main factor as pro50sc stated....also do you want consistent hp cause that'd rule out NO2

I'd either go with a super charger or stroke it. Nitrious is just alot of wear and tear on your motor and like they said its not constant power you just get it in bursts. If it was my car and tha bottom end was already in good shape i would do tha super charger no use tearing down a motor that already runs.
