recomendations on a super charger vs NOS in daily driver.

What would be recomended in a daily driver that isnt raced at every stop light but would like a bit of a boost when the time comes. Im looking total cost involved, maintenence, etc etc. Something that may get used on occassion on weekends or something like that.

thanks in advance.

l'd go with nitrous, its easy to install, its initially inexpencive, its there when you need it, its not when you dont want it, it doesnt harm fuel effieciency, and if used wisely doesnt put any extra wear and tear on the engine.

thanks guys thats what I thought, do you know anyone who wants to buy a paxton, & cam? have to get the cam out first though. I put the paxton on and didnt like it from day one so I left it on just unhooked it.
