Nitrous vs Boost on a Bolton Lt1

What would yield better times. My car has Long tubes, 373 , 3000 stall built trans, cold air, drag radials, full exhaust + some other little things. I am either looking at a p600b or s trim, Or a 100-125 shot. This is all on the stock motor.

n2o wont blow the thing up so id go that route. A 100 shot should be good for 10-12 mph and a second off your ET.

For a modest power boost, nitrous is going give a lot more bang for buck and for the hp. Look at the torque curve of a nitrous motor vs. a blower car and it's pretty obvious why. OTOH, to spice up a car for high performance street driving, blower (or turbo) is the way to go.

If you are doing one of those with the motor as is, then nitrous will be WAY faster. If you are going to build the bottom end a turbo or SC will be better in the long run.

Also nitrous sucks on the street... IMO.

Unless you plan on rebuilding your shot block very soon, I would go with nitrous. If you don't mind and can afford a short block rebuild soon than I would go Blower.
