Nitrous or Water-Meth? Anyone using either with a Magnuson SC? Debating on going to the NOS wet kit since I already have some new tanks, etc. but not sure how this would compare to my AEM water-meth kit or should I just stick to that?
This is the wet kit I am looking at : https://nitrousoutlet.com/i-30560021...te-system.html
One of the goals is to try to break 900+ on the dyno (dyno queen basically lol). Car is a weekend show and go car basically.

They'd do two different things. Think of water/meth as race gas. Isn't going to do much at all for power, but will allow more timing/boost. Nitrous is HP in a bottle. But it releases lots of oxygen in the cylinders and ADDS heat to the combustion chamber. (even though it cools the air charge). So really its 2 different things IMO. IDeally you'd want both. Water/meth is cheap. If you want dyno numbers spray it at high RPM for a very short time so its easier on things.
I am going to say exactly the opposite of my usual response. For a street driver, which is over 90% of the questions here, I say meth injection. For a short pull dyno queen, you can put up much better hero numbers with nitrous before anything blows. As long as your hard parts are top notch, your motor can survive things you would not believe for a few seconds on the dyno. The heat buildup is the next thing to destroy parts after simple mechanical failure, and a dyno pull does not give the heat load of most race environments.
