Best Power Adder?

Hi I was wanting to know what would be the best power adder, N2O, Supercharger, or Turbo? So if you could give me your opinion on what you feel is the best I would really appreciate it. Oh and how much boost and N2O would I be able to run on a stock L98? Thanks for the help.

For the money, NOS has a nice kit. The kit comes with jets for a 100hp and 150hp shot. I ran the 100hp set up and got great results. A full second. The tranny didn't last long though. I have since added a vortech supercharger and ati intercooler. If you have the money, Vortech or ATI make some very nice products and would pay for themselves over the long haul, since filling the bottle is $50 each time.

Turbo is probably the best and the most difficult. Superchargers are easier and you have the power there all the time like the turbo. Nitrous is the easiest and by far the cheapest. Drawbacks are you must have bottle open to work and filling the bottle isn't cheap.

Dont forget compression. Now days, this one seems to be the forgotten method of HP. There are soo many cool ways of making HP now that no one remembers how to build a high compression, kick butt motor.
