Like everyone else has said, DON'T DO IT. Anything worth having is worth waiting and working for.
What happens if you do trade down to a P1, install it, then aren't happy with the power if it only adds 100hp, which again, it's a progressive power increase. So down around 2500-4000rpm, you're not going to feel a huge gain. Granted, it'll be nice, but you're going to start getting mad because it's not worth the amount of time and money you spent, only to get 100hp.
Is your car your only means of transportation? If so, I say be very patient, and have enough cash reserve that if something happens, you're not going to be upset paying for a rental for a week to 2 weeks.
Like has been said above, forced induction isn't for the faint of heart or wallet. Any weaknesses in your motor or driveline will be amplified when you start adding power.
I have a friend who bought a complete setup for a D1SC years ago. He then ended up selling it for a loss without ever installing it. Fast forward to now and he sees how much fun my car is, and wishes he still had his D1SC setup. If you already have the blower, don't sell it.

No not my only transportation. I've got a 95 honda that I drive daily. I haven't driven my car for awhile actuallly... And with a P1sc I should easily be able to add 150hp with it. Packy is running 10.3@129 with a p1sc and my goals are to trap 125ish tops in the future. And for now I only want to trap about 120.

I've been down the n20 road. About a year of it. Don't like refilling bottles all the time. Gets expensive and just didn't like the n20 all the much... The p1 would give me more power than the 100 shot that I had and always be there. I was very happy with the power the 100 shot gave me I just hated how it wasn't always there and I had to set a window switch on it because it made way to much power down low if I didn't .
