nitrous will get you there momentary

supercharge at high psi will keep you there , but cost more

+1. Supercharger setups cost less than turbos. You can get to 300 hp with around 9 psi of boost (been there!). But then you really also need a rear end setup that can take the power, too! 300 and more hp is possible for $4-5K.

Short term? Spray...under a grand complete...a 75 shot will REALLY shake things up.

supercharger i would say nitrous but that will put u in alot of money in the long run unless u have the setup for it with forged pistons and all or u could go with gears, cold air intake, plenum and throttle body and exhaust and a good tune

Nitrous is the cheapest hands down.

A 75 shot is not going to hurt a thing...lots of guys here doing it.

DO get it on a dyno and a tune though.

Wow...I had no idea those Zex kits were down to $540. That is entering "under the radar" territory as far as wife/accounting is concerned.
