I have done both and still have both. If I had to do it over again. Blower all the way. No filling of the bottle. Power on demand, even @ part-throttle. Unlike N2O which in only @ WOT.
I think it really depends on what your personal goals are. I love riding in cars with nitrous, but i would never put it on one of my personal cars. I dont think its "cheating" or anything stupid like that, its just not for me. It seems to me there are just to many inconsistencies with nitorus. Is my bottle full, is it warm, is there adequate pressure, do i have a leak, did i get a good fill, do i have any left, etc.
Which do you think is going to make you happier every day when you drive your car, nail the gas, and pop your hood?

for what its worth, inconsistencies in N2O are as great as in a turbo or SC, trust me. My biggest problem with spray is bottole pressure, but with a smaller shot isnt as importaint. I had so many issues with my turbo setup. if it was hot out, ran like a bag of ****, cold out she ran to good and id have to play with timing, hose clamps loosen all the time, boost ref pumps that have a pin hole but you stay at WOT, OH BOY!!! turbo leaking oil do to heat on the hoses, plug wire after plug wire melted and destroid, I could go on for days lol
either way each has goods and bads. its more personal.
If your going turbo however, i would suggest saving the extra $$$$ on a 408 and put it towards a turbo kit, and build a 347.
