Default Need help with dual power-adder setup for ET

My question is rather simple, but the answer probably will not be.

Right now I'm currently spraying the car. I have a supercharger and a new cam waiting to go in and plan on spraying it after the swap.

My question is this:
Is it better to run more boost and less nitrous? Or less boost with more nitrous?

I will either be running a 6psi pulley or a 9psi pulley and will base the nitrous use off of that.

Which would make for the better track car?

With a bigger shot of nitrous I would get out of the hole harder, but with the supercharger it just won't quit until I shift...so it'll give me all the power I want later on.

My car is setup to 60' hard and it has given me good results. This leads me to believe I should keep the boost down and run a bigger hit of nitrous on the line....I dunno. I just want to know what has been the better result for you guys.

The little V6 won't take lots of both

I havent forged the guts yet...I will when I break it though

My goals are to run mid 11's with the swap and I was just wondering the best way to get there with this setup. I've been told by a few people now to just boost as hard as it'll go (it's just a little BD11-a powerdyne, so probably 10-11psi will be max efficiency without rebuilding) and then start to spray ontop of that...when I break something I know how much it'll take
