Which is easier on engine, NOS or supercharger?
Which is easier on engine, NOS or supercharger...and why? 
I mean for adding it to a stock bottom end (being very conservative on either NOS/boost). After reading in the supercharger forum about too much pressure in the cylinders, is NOS easier on the stock bottom end?

Yes I think nitrous is easier on the engine because its not in use all the time, so your engine is just NA when n2o is not used and thats about +95% of the time. Forced induction on the other hand is used all the time so the engine is under extra pressure always.
The stress on the drivetrain is a diiferent story, because n2o generates a torque spice as apposed to the more gentler curve of forced induction, stress to the drivetrain is more.
