turbo and nitrous Im in the process of building a 94 Camaro dailydriver/ streetcar. Im going with a 5.3 and was wondering what would be a good piston for nitrous and turbo.

Not to be that guy, but you are in the wrong section. Just letting you know before you get hammered. Also, for a DD why would you want to run both nitrous and turbo? Seems a little overkill....just curious.
EDIT: Also, the stock 5.3 can handle a good amount of power without changing out the pistons. It really depends on how much power you are going to running. Plus, if you are a 6 spd car then a turbo might not be the way you want to go since you will loose boost pressure inbetween shifts.

If you are somebody who is not a consistently accurate and swift shifter, a PD blower might be your best bet as it will quickly recover its compression of air between shifts.
I'm not at all knowledgeable about the centri stuff, but I imagine it would be in between a PD blower and a turbo.
Jake89 is correct about turbos and manuals though. I am sure you have seen plenty of YouTube races where the faster car (turbo + manual transmission) loses to slower auto cars because the car has to play the catch up game.

That is a loaded question. From what I have read a roots style blower, or nitrous, would be the most optimal for poweradder. Turbo and centirfugal blowers need to spool up so an auto is best paired with those. To be honest I would love a turbo set up paired with a 6 spd but it would be more for fun driving and not racing.
