Just read around before you start making big choices. The site is full of great info and at one point 80% of the people on here were in your shoes.

Side note, I'm in your shoes now, I have nitrous on the car but am thinking about purchasing a D1SC kit for the car or building a T76 turbo kit for it.

Big question, How much money do you have to spend? If you've got upwards towards $10k then go turbo, if you only have a couple grand then go nitrous.

I think you will be close to your et goals on just motor alone. I like nitrous though so thats my vote.

The price for one thing is going to be WAY more for a turbo or supercharger. You could achieve your results easily with even just a 150 shot and a fairly mild 408. if you have the money to do a turbo then im sure you would have enough to go with a wet direct port. A well built 408 and a DP can easily get 700 to the rear.

Shoot me a pm if you would like to discuss it further. We sell both nitrous and do full engine builds so i am sure we could point you in the right direction to acheive your goals
