Default Rear mount or Nitrous?

Hey guys I currently have a wet nitrous setup all the accessories needed.... but I have been toying with the idea of a rear mount turbo setup.. I have plenty of turbo background but this would be my first rear mount? I'm looking for 10's on stock ls1 bottom end, ported heads, and cam... what do you guys think is the easiest route?

Turbo is better. But your question was simplicity. If you already have nitrous, and if your pockets arent somewhat deep, stay away from the Turbo. if you go turbo, do it once, do it correctly, and do a front mount.

tough call... i went from nitrous to turbo (in progress). nitrous is awesome, just made me sad when the bottle ran dry... lol i will say i went 7.05 on a 100 shot and mods in sig. it spun on the hit so that 7.05 could have easiliy been a 6.8 or 6.9 if it would have hooked which is a solid 10. Hell i didnt even get s chance for the 150 jets which would have been easy easy 10's (was still on stock pump) Even a 7.05 is around a 10.9 so you can easily do it with nitrous. if your auto im selling my stall converter because im going t56 if your interested. Also i had ZERO drag suspension mods, stock control arms, panhard, rear end. The only thing different in the rear are hotchkis lowering springs and bilstein shocks, nothing drag oriented.. If you did some suspension to hook up and did what mods i did you would be in 10's very easy. nitrous would be the easiest way and since your own it cheaper for now, but over time nitrous fills do add up...
