A 408 with a 200 to 250 shot will do that if not more than that without any problems.

MY VOTE NITROUS

turbo. you can have a more steet friendly motor on a turbo than a n/a-nitrous car. i sold my nitrous kit to buy a turbo. i am going for a 500+rwhp daily driver on a STOCK motor!!!

Go both. Turbo with a bottle. It's the best of both worlds.

nitrous because the engine build will be the same price and a good n2o kit is cheaper than a good turbo kit. with n2o you can have a beast n/a motor for the street and a monster nitrous motor on the track.

you only need 8 psi for that, i'm at 16# on the STOCK motor

to the OP if your pockets are deep enough just go straight for the FI, nitrous is for dedicated strip cars in my opinion, where you still have to have your umbilical cord on you to survive (nitrous refills)
