Add Nitrous or go with bigger Snails?

My friends and I were talking about what would be better for a setup like mine if I wanted to push things a little for more top end pull.. Go from T3/T4 Super H twin turbos to twin 62mm's or just add a 75 to 100 wet shot coming on right at 4800rpm and shutting off at 6500rpm. I am running a 408ci setup...

I would go twin 70's or even a touch bigger. Why make the investment if you're stopping at 62mm? they can't flow more than about 650ish hp right?

67's or 70's. Tiago is running twin 76's on his 427.

those t3 exhaust housings are choking your engine. step up to a real man's pair of turbochargers. I ran twin t76 mps's on my 402 with no problem.

I do spray meth. FI dot com has some nice 62mm turbos I could go with and the price is not bad. I am just wondering if they would be better than a 100 shot? It's not like I am going to need to spray all the time or need to go over 1000rwhp all the time..

Then go 62's. A buddy of mine spools 68's in a little 327 dart block just fine, and it's a stick car to boot so 62's on a 408 shoould spool crazy fast...no nitrous needed.
