Well, I'm sorry. I have been searching. I will just shut my internet mouth from now on. I will say you DO have the ability to ignore this, even to pass this thread by.
Thank you, ecko04, you have been very helpful.

Your absolutly right. I can just pass this thread by or just ignore it.
But at least once a week someone has to ask about....
"which is better"
"which is more reliable"
"turbo vs s/c"
turbo vs nitrous"
"I need help"
it gets old.
and no... You most not have searched because there is at least 20 really good threads on any "forced induction"
when I get near a computer I will list them for you.

Hayseed, the reason I decided to help you and not bash you like my buddy, game-over, is because you actually asked your question intelligently. You didn't come in and say "I haz da nedz 4 speedz" or "turbo vz noz" or "bottle or blower", etc.
You clearly have the intellectual level to understand that each will put more stress on the motor and have the potential impact reliability and longevity. You have pose that most 25+ do not possess. It may be because you're engaged, which forces you to look at things more holistically instead with your left nut and it could be attributed to the military, which you're obviously associated with.
I don't doubt that you did your searching but since this site archives thread, the most recent threads, which are not archived, are the ones that you may have found, which do not have answers but rather the old adage of what game-over said "search". Clearly, he knows how to search so he could have done the search and posted the threads that related to your question but I digress.
Oh and I wouldn't go with Zex, i'd go with Ny-trex but they're more costly than Zex and you'll still need the Zex tC fuel line adapter so you don't have to cut into your stock one. Make sure you have fittings for everything, teflon tape or pipe thread sealant, jets for nitrous and fuel, etc. Nitrous install isn't as in-depth as turbo installation but still rather involved.

I wish I could boost at 15934982psi or run ridiculous shots of nitrous. I really do. If I was in a different life situation I would; its just that I cant afford to blow an engine or whatnot. I will upgrade to an inherently faster car someday, but for now I am at the age where tuning is fun, and in that I would like to find a somewhat reliable option to do so. I already have i/h/e either installed or on the way. I will go the nitrous direction, probably for just a short time. I do understand the risks and I do understand that with more horsepower comes more risk.
I believe that I will purchase the Ny-trex Triple threat, the Zex fuel line adapter kit, and the dynotune one-stage RPM window switch. Anything else?
would this be worth buying:http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...p?idproduct=67
Thank you for all your help.
