Streetability??? Nitrous, Turbo, Blower??? Which one of these is the most realiable and streetable?? Im trying to decide on what kind of power adder I want to go with. If I go nitrous, Ill just keep the kit I have on the car. If i go blower, then most likely a procharger. But how about turbo?? what are some good reliable kits that are on the market???

Nitrous is the most streetable since you're not constantly on the bottle but daily driving with a turbo or S/C isn't bad since with most driving you really won't be into boost.
Personally I like the Procharger better than the Vortech simply for the self contained oil and intercooler placement but they are both good systems and it comes down to personal preference.
For a turbo I would (and am) go with the PTK kit. The price isn't horrific and the results are killer. Now if Phamspeed would come out with an LT1 kit, that would be another recommendation. The STS kit is easy to install and not bad if you aren't looking for uber high HP but the cost factor really isn't there anymore by the time you buy all of the necessities including BOV, meth injection, turbo upgrade and FMIC if you're looking for higher boost.....add all of that up and you're looking at near the cost of a PTK kit which will put out much more HP.

Thanks For All The Replys, I Would Love To Have The Power All The Time Whenever I Needed It. I Like Nitrous Just Because Its Cheap And There When You Need It, But I Kinda Want Something That Is On Tap All The Time. Im Just Trying To Figure Out What Cam And Compression Ratio I Need To Go With Before I Start Assemblying The Motor.

GhostZ said it right. Its all gonna be streetable since you are going to be "in boost" all of the time. I also agree with lastcall on what everyone calls streetable and how its different for everyone. If you want something that is always on tap, nitrous is nothing but an remote bottle opener away from being on tap 24/7.
