turbo, super, or n2o?

I'm going to add one soon, and I'm not sure which to go with.

Which one is the best? the cheapest? the most efficient? the easiset to install? is more reliable? makes the most power?

I have an L03 305 TBI. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much

3rd gens rule!!!! :rockon:

With all the custom work I would guess at least $3500. Just get a nitrous kit.

cost breakdown for turbo system

For a not off the wall crazy system.....

1500-1900 for headers using stainless
300-500 for wastegate (can be had for cheaper used)
1200 intercooler approx of course cheaper if used
1400-2500 turbo
1200-3500 Computer
??? can be done on street but i rather dyno tuning tuning
30-1200 all depends on how bling bling you want boost controller
200 blow off
800 misc junk

or go crazy (i am on this side i think )
$2000 for headers getting labor for $0
$500 x2 for wastegates Innovative progates
$899 x2 for turbos t-66 turbos
$900 x2 for intercoolers air-water
$250 x2 for blow offs
$599 for boost controller

I agree with zturbo. Build the motor, then put on the power adder. If you don't you need to carry a basket in the car so you can pick up all the parts it spits out.
