Which setup?

Just wondering which setup would be safer...more reliable...less maintence?

A N/A 425-450rwhp car with a 75-50 shot of nitrous.

or

A Turbo/Supercharged car with around 8psi or whatever it take to get to my hp goal.

BASICALLY my goal is 500rwhp and 550 MAX I want the the car that will be more reliable, less maintence and safer on the motor....PLEASE be honest.

Obviously you're in the FI section...people are going to be biased!

N2O - "cheap" up front but filling the bottle can get old IMO...time AND $$$.

To get up to 425 - 450 N/A, you'll need to drop a good amount of money anyways...not to mention the $2500 rear-end need. With the turbo, FTMP, the 10 bolt will hold up fine.

So, spend $6k on the FI kit and hope for the best making 500hp or spend $7k on the H/C/bolt-ons/N2O+rear-end and then continue to fill the bottle at $30 a pop.

I've never been a fan of NOS so I had to go with FI - you'll spend more money, but (imo) you run alot less risk of blowing your motor

since you posted in the FI section I had to vote that way

...But any setup you do will be safe if done correctly and you dont push it past its limits, IMO.
