Supercharger or Nitrous?

I am currently building a mild 355 (using combo that others have hit 450rwhp with) and was going for a goal of 650rwhp so i was going to spray 200hp shot on it. What kind of power could i get from 10psi of intercooled boost? just wondering if anybody knew from experience. thanks

One thing to remember...... The nitrous picks u up from the time it is activated....the blower picks you up more and more as rpms increase (I don't like to wait). That is one of the reasons I sold my Procharger. Also...to make a blower car run the same times as a nitrous car you have to make a good bit more power. The nitrous gives a much better holeshot.

well you did say you didnt care about cost :P

But I think N2O would good, spend a good amount, get the goodies and it'll be even better.
heater, purge, remote opener, msd digital 6.

PS, I got a dual stage NX for sale never been run, need the cash and will let it go real cheap. PM if your interested.

There will be more improvement in 1/4m times from a 200hp nitrous shot than from a 10psi blower. However, if the $$ isn't an issue, both is a great idea!
