Should I go with Turbo or Nitrous on my 5.3?
I'm stuck between wanting to go turbo or nitrous. I have a bone stock 5.3 in a 01 Mustang that I'm currently building. What route would you go and why? the car is a street car but has full tubular suspension and is backed by a th350 transmission

Cost is the main factor here...N2O will be much cheaper but you don't want to go over a 150 wet shot on stock pistons/rods. A lot of people say N2O isn't consistent but with the NANO setups that isn't a factor anymore. Turbo's can be a PITA to tune but once they are dialed in will scream. If I was going to drive this on the street I would go with N2O since you can just turn the bottle off.
