Default SC or NOS, what to do???

Ok im going back and forth, should I install the LMS SC or a 50 shot Zex wet kit? Keep in mind this is my DD..... Just wondering what others would do, I know most will prob say SC but keep in mind the SC will end up costing me around 3k more....

I would do the NOS because it's cheaper and you wouldn't be gaining that much power anyways.

Nitrous loves our high compression engines.

FI on the other hand hates high compression.

I go with SC myself even tho it's not the best bang for your buck. Have the looks of the piping underneath the hood and intercooler up front just stands out. But that just me if I had the cash..

GTR bro. gtr !. Super charger = piggy back which is a bit unsafe depending. IMO. You can piece together a kit for 3-4k easy though. Pro charger, pully, Synapse valve, intercooler, piping, unichip or arma piggyback and run meth

Running a nitrous system the correct way and all the gauges, purge kit, etc can run pretty high up there
