200 shot (aux fuel system) or turbo.

Ok, this is the question I've been banging around in my head for ahwile. With he modifications in my sig, I have been trying to decide on a set up that best fits me. Here's the breakdown: works a night shift, have had 5lbs in my 10lb bottle in my car for the last month. it's a zex wet kit with window switch and everything else needed to be safe. i can pick up a plate and auxillary fuel system for around 800 new but found some great deals locally. Or I could go with an agp turbo setup for a decent price as well. understand I drive like an old man until i noticed the da will be low and i can lay down a great time at the track. I try to avoid illegal street contests as well. but i'm torn between driving daily in this vehicle with nitrous when it comes time to play, or going dedicated forced induction and investing the money in a totally different set up. if given these perimeters, which would you choose? and be honest, don't go for an answer that will net results in not being on a bandwagon.

further note. 600hp is my stopping point. this is a daily driven car.

i say stay with the dope since you have pretty much everything.......If 600 is your stoping point the AGP kit would be overkill........... just my .02

If you can pick up the used parts cheap, I would stick with nitrous.

$8-9K buys a lot of tank re-fills.
