What would be the easyest-safest

to run???

2 of the big bottles. And get them TONIGHT!

LOL

easiest: nitrous.

Otherwise, you're gonna need a new head or a thicker head gasket to raise your compression back up. Plan on running the stock program or a special tune for your nitrous on the chip. The current tune will probably have too much timing unless you run higher octane gas.

^^^dont you mean lower the compression to suppress detonation??

Yes, thats what he said, so I suppose thats what he means. A thicker headgasket to lower the compression OR go back to an un-molested head.

yea, I meant lower back down but typed raise back up. In either case, my methods for doing so were accurate ;-)

considering you've already done some moderate NA stuff, incl the big cams and the shaved head, i'd go nitrous. Cat1's are kinda big so i'm not sure stock tune would work. I'd stick with SCT but get a nitrous program added that pulls a little timing. if you go bigger than 75, you're gonna want to do a new bottom end...at that power level, you'd want a new bottom end on SC or Nitrous anyway.

Graham, your car is really nice, but I think you have reached the top of it's performance NA. Sure, there are still a few things that you could do, but then it would start making your car somewhat unreliable.
I say, go s/c. You'll have to lower your compression and take out the cams, since they don't like boost, but I think it will give you what you need.
It seems to me, you like a nice clean show quality setup, and s/c usually give you that look. Not to mention, they seem more reliable in the long run.
I'm pretty sure, thay the way I'm going here shortly

<sigh> when will people learn?

nitrous would be the easiest and would work with your current mods (mostly)

a supercharger you'll need to lower the compression again and lose the intake and pullies. (maybe not the intake if you get a JRSC)

a turbo you'll need to raise the compression, lose the intake, and lose the header.

so it's up to you, really.

In all seriousness, nitrous. You can keep nearly all your mods, except your plugs and chip. You will want to get timing pulled back to stock and run colder plugs on the bottle. The 75 shot limit myth that has developed is because of the poor design of most wet nitrous kits where the nitrous beats the fuel to the engine.

I suggest this kit. It uses nylon lines as opposed to stainless steel wrapped PTFE lines which are too big for that much nitrous which is why you need a purge solenoid with most kits. This is the same reason you don't have fuel lines that are 4 inches in diameter. The solenoids are also designed for liquid and can be run like fuel injectors using pulse width modulation. Other solenoids will fail quickly running them in that manner. With their controller you can run the system nearly off idle, no window switch or waiting needed unless it is only used to prevent missed shifts.
