Default Blower or more juice?

I am considering putting the blower back on. ATI D-1SC.
I have 10.5:1 compression so the boost would have to stay low, 5lbs. Then spray 150 (with the direct port) top of that, using C16 in the fuel cell. Changing my camshaft to my old 216/220@114. The only thing I am worried about (besides my transmission ) is the cylinder pressures.
Would this be better than just pilling it up to a dual stage 250. Hitting a 150 at 3200 with the direct port and then spraying 100 with a single nozzle. Sticking with my current 230/230@112+4.
If it was your truck or car what would you do?

Just throw more spray at it, seems easy to do and less of a hassle, cylinder pressures will be high on both the spray and s/c and N2O alone. But with that compression it begs for more spray
1 vote for N2O here.

Thanks for your response. Anyone else out there have a opinion or comment on this?
I have the blower in my garage, so there is no cost there. Dropping to the small cam it would lose power but, hopefully it would make it up with 4-5lbs of boost.
