Which power adder would you recommend?
Which power adder would you recommend? Alright guys, I need some advice from the wise 
. I've been planning what I'm going to be doing next year and have come to a point I can't decide on. Here are the basics:
My car made 382 rwhp after the cam, that's where it is at now (mods in sig). I want to make >450. I will be going with a Moser 12-bolt and a driveshaft before any more performance mods. The car sees a lot of street driving (which is why I went with a mild cam) but also gets about 5 track visits each year.
Now, do I go with a turbo setup, supercharger, or nitrous? My power adder budget is around $4-5K including installation. I'm open to just about anything, so lemme hear what you guys have to say. Thanks in advance.

Procharger d1, itll give most reliability and its easier to install than anything else. However look into spending at least 2k more, better done once and done right!
Plus you could get a kit for under a grand with all the safety components, and then coudl spend the rest on a forged 346/347 short block if you wanted to have peace of mind that it would hold together.
I'd stay away from the turbo route if your budget is only 4-5k. If you're not doing the fabrication/install yourself, 4-5k won't even get you in the door. I'd build up your drivetrain and get a nice nitrous kit w/ accessories.

I would tend to agree with the above; go with a good nitrous kit, especially if you are just looking for about 450 rwhp. Heck, if you have 5k$ to spend you could get a nice set of heads and probably see 450 rwhp without nitrous.

Great advice guys. I was actually leaning towards nitrous due to budget concerns but I didn't want to say that in case it would sway the results. Thanks again, other comments are definitely welcome.

i say spend the money on one of these new 6.2 aluminum blocks and stroke it to atleast a 4'' stroke.... use the l92 heads and intake then go to town on the nitrous... a 125 wet kit would be fun and plenty...
