Supercharging with Nitrous?

Is it pretty much pick one only, or do we have anyone running both? I've sold my TBI RS (best move I ever made) and am looking for a healthy 5.7 Z28... I just love the idea of the supercharger whine & a nitrous purge at the same time while waiting for the green.. you know, to kinda add to the "I think I just dropped a brick" feeling that anyone pulling up next to my car would get... Not to mention I'm moving to California in a few days and I hear the **** population is really out of hand in some areas...

So, is it possible and practical?

Nitrous, in theory would complement a boosted mtor quite nicely- like running a chemical intercooler. I plan on doign that with my Malibu next year maybe.

*** forbid you ever run lean or over-advance the spark, though!

why not just run more boost? or a bigger pill?

why complicate things with more than one power adder? it is hard enough to get one tuned and perfect, throw in the mix Nitrous and I say you have a handful.

I'm definatly going to go Paxton supercharged... I think I'll throw in a 50 or 75 shot on top of it just for close calls Shouldnt be THAT hard to get right. I've decided to lessen the risks by getting a fuel pressure and timing control box to keep an eye on everything.

...Now I have to pick out an intercooler. Ultimatly I want a reliable ride without having to worry about too much. Hopefully thats not just wishful thinking.
