Turbo, its always there, you dont have to refill it and the power is there when needed. It might cost more at first but in the long run it will save you time & money. You could easily run about 7-8psi without changing the internals of the engine. However at 15psi you DOUBLE the amount of Horsepower the engine make alone. At 15psi you would most likely have to change internals to make around 8.0:1-8.5:1 Compression Ratio. Personally I think the turbo would be more dependable and cheaper in the long run.

personaly, im a fan of nos... have it on my GTP, and on going on my blown C5 corvette... But one thing was stated that is false... when you instal nitrous on your STOCK motor, you WILL need to drop the timing by 4 degrees on the LT1 when your doing your runs... Now, being a computor controlled engine, thats hard to do... so what you can do is get ( I forget the name) its a switch that will drop it for you when you go to use the spray... Or else get the computor programmed to be constantly running 4 degrees less... You will get better MPG, but lose about 15 HP... If you DONT do this, then after about 6 or so runs, depending on the HP jets your using, you will grenade your engine. I can promise you that. You cant just plug in and go with the NOS... Its not that easy.

and i want to clairfy from the above post from the guy with like two posts running 15 psi will not double your horse power the aproximate gain from 1 pound of boost weather that turbo or supercharger boost is 7% of your natrually asperated horse power ie....
LT1= 285 horse
1% 2.85 * 7 19.95 horse per pound of boost
19.95 * 15
299.95+ base of 285 = 584 tad moe than double but.... your going to have to do a complete rebuild to run that sort of boost
wait.... I are confuse....
