Which hits harder? Which hits harder off the line? Nitrous, Turbo, Centifical Supercharger, All Motor?
I know nitrous is instant what ever size shot at a set RPM > 3000. Lets say an extra 150 hp at 3000 rpm till you shift.
Turbos have lag or spool up time. But when they start to make full boost the waste gate keeps that boost level till you shift. Lets say 3500 rpm to make 8 lbs for 100 hp till you shift.
Centrifical Superchargers build boost all through the rpm range and usually hit max right before you shift. So at 3000 rpm you might have 3 lbs for 50 hp and 8 lbs at 6000 rpm for 100 hp right before you shift.
All motor. Lets say a head, cam, maybe stroker. A stroker will give you more torque down low. Heads and cams usually give more hp the more rpms you run kind of like a centrifical supercharger.
Do I have this right?

it all depends on what kind of blower too.... hell i've got a huge *** double helix roots blower thats gonna go on a big block this season..... the same kind the top fuelers used about 3 years ago....
if your going all out on each setup id say the blower will be more violent off the line.

You basically have it right but it is hard to compare the 3 all have cmopletely diff. benefits

IMHO a max effort nitrous system will hit the hardest. It makes instant maximum torque at the point of activation. The other power adders have to be spooled to reach their maximums.
