Personally, I'd take that $$ and upgrade with all the bolt-ons I could including heads and cam. Then work on upgrading drivetrain and suspension. Get everything flowing good and able to hold up. See where you're at power wise, then maybe all you need is 100-150 shot of no2 to get where you wanna be which the stock bottom end should handle if its set up right. If you go this route all your bases are covered and your car will run and handle what you throw at it. Just my opinion.

Where do you live? A local performance shop here in Houston has a couple of set ups that will really make you happy for not a lot of money..

They both have there good and bad points. I went the nitrous way because of price and quick install.

I would have gotten blown if I had 5-7k laying around for the SC, labor and the upgrades.

Plus, I think the stock bottom handles juice better than the blower, especially if you crank up boost.

Agreed. And to make it last, forged!

with a forged bottom end and a good amount of boost, how much of a shot do you think someone could be able to run? i'm in the same boat tryin to decide between supercharger or nitrous-based set-up. it'd be great if i could run a healthy shot with a blower but usually i see people only wanting to shoot a 75-100 shot max.

That's good question. Any blown bottleheads wanna chime in? I would think it would be wicked fast

I plan on running a 100 shot on my set-up.

But remember nitrous effectively doubles with FI.

I was in the same boat, I was leaning toward a supercharger, due to it always being there, but the more I researched it the more the price for all the stuff I would need kept going up, pretty soon I was looking at over $6000 easy. Now I just plan on spending about $1500 hundred on an pretty awesome nitrous setup. It should put at the same horsepower level I was planning on being at with the supercharger, except I should I have a lot more torque, plus I'll have the extra $4500 on the side in case something breaks.

I have posted this before and I am sure I will post it again.

Listed below are the reasons I went with a NX system:

1) Inexpensive.
2) Does not add so much weight to the front of the vehicle.
3) The weight it does add is usually in the rear where you want it.
4) 75 horsepower one minute, 200 the next etc... (flexible)
5) Massive torque down low unmatched by any other power adder even roots.
6) On a hot day FI car is off 3 to 5 tenths, an N2O car 1 to 2 tenths.
7) No intercooler heat soak. (No long waiting periods required.)
8) Stealth (hidden) if need be. (see money racing)
9) Can remove it and reinstall in any internal combustion vehicle you own. (Try that with your F1R or Twin Turbo set up.)
10) Does not transmit damaging harmonics to your crankshaft. (SC)
11) Does not create intense heat under the hood. (hard on plastics, rubber, paint, etc)
12) Wear and tear only when you need the hit, not taxing the motor all the time.
13) You can race NA in the brackets for consistency, then shoot it for a heads up race or the occasional kill.
14) Intimidation factor, (hitting the purge when opponent is lighting the second bulb staging.) Priceless!

Yes, as we all know there are a few drawbacks, but I feel the pro's heavily out weigh the con's.

Must correct you on #12. You don't tax the engine unless you are under boost. So cruising normally it drives like stock.

Nitrous will damage the engine alot quicker than FI.
FI is progressive power. Nitrous is an instant hit of power.

I have done both. If you have the money. FI all the way. Power on demand. So nice getting into boost at part-throttle merging on the freeway.
