If you are a gearhead then go boost. If not then go nitrous. I have had both and I can say both are fast. I love hearing people complain about filling the bottle. That's easy. Try chasing down a boost leak on a twin turbo setup. In a race with both making equal power its a drivers race and most likely the nitrous car will get out first and stay out in a 40 to 160mph sprint. You wont be able to make too many back to back runs with the nitrous setup or the boosted setup. One requiring a cool down and the other probably low on bottle pressure or out of nitrous. When I had nitrous I always had a spare bottle.
This really all boils down to your finances and whats really important. If you race a lot and have doe then go boost. If you dont race very often and got doe then go boost. If you do race a lot and dont have doe then go nitrous. If you dont race a lot and dont have doe then go nitrous. Now some just like to save money regardless if they have it or not. They go nitrous. Just that simple guys.

Going the bottle route will definitely be A LOT cheaper up front, that being said I'm a fan of boost over the bottle because you never have to fill it or turn on the bottle.

I am surprised the "cost" factor hasnt been brought up, bc there is a HUGE difference!
to the OP: First: how much you want to spend? whats your final goals? if you want a more complete package, as in power all the time go with FI. A good reliable FI setup is very hard to beat. Until you factor in the cost. do a little reading on the FI section and learn up, but get ready to pay up as in thousands $$$ more.
Im VERY happy with mine, no problems now thats is all figured out. mine is a DD also.
