Few things to consider.
N20-
First, do you want power through the entire rpm range, or just @ WOT?
Do you want to refill that power?
Would it just be better to do this, and save the money, and still run a good ET?
Boost:
Are you prepared to spend a ton of money? Even a budget build runs alot more than n20 seutps, even if you were doing a nitrous outlet FAST fogger it still would.
Are you willing to have the car down a while while you fab/prep/research the setup?
Do you want power that never runs out, is there even at 3k rpm or less, and a bunch of neat sounds?
That would be a great start as to which direction you should choose, based on how you answer those questions IMHO

Depending on how much street driving you do I would go boost and here is why. The issue with nitrous is you get use to the power and want it all the time. Now you are constantly refilling bottles at $40 a whack and dicking around waiting for the pressure to come up when it is below 60 degrees out. Like has been said expect to dish out some coin for the FI setup including a meth kit if you want consistency in the summer heat. Right now I am running a procharger and a small nitrous shot on an AES 370. The nitrous is solely for cooling down the charge in the summer or so I tell myself.

I vote for the forged 370 and boost. You will spend a lot more in the beginning, but you wont have to refill your power. Also, you will get better MPG when driving like a civilized human being. Dont forget that you will be able to just up the boost to get more power instead of changing jets.

If i were you i would go with a nitrous system. Eventually thats what i plan to do, its a lot cheaper and easier especially when you already have a "built" motor. When you build a car for FI everything about the car needs to be set up around FI. But when you build a nitrous motor you can build the motor for NA power and then just add Nitrous and only use it at the track. However i do believe that it is illegal to have nitrous in a car unless you have a permit or something dumb like that, not sure though.
