Repeat after me.
Nitrous
Oxide.
Not NOS, NOZZ, NAAWWWS, etc. NOS (pronounced En Oh Ess) is a company, Nitrous Oxide Systems, that manufactures and distributes, you guessed it, nitrous oxide systems. It's kinda like refering to RC Cola, Pepsi, and Sam's Choice Cola as Coke.
That aside, a turbo system is better. Why? Because you don't have a bottle to refill amoung other things. Also, when you properly build up an engine to run with nitrous, it really isn't a whole lot cheaper then a turbo kit. Laughing gas is a very dangerous thing to those who are not very familiar with it, many engines have been wasted by improper set-up, however the same goes for turbos.

drop compression .5 then get a nice turbo setup and a nitrus intercool spray and you'll be set. and you use both. but that aside just turbo the damn thing.
BTW - friend with a camero, 3 engines in like maybe a year all due to nitrus, hell the last engine he blew sent a piston through the hood (probly highreving)

depends on what work u want to put into it, if ur willing to take apart the block, install forged lower compression pistons new forged rods and actually make a good turbo setup id say turbo, if u want cheaper power to be used on a less regular occasion id say get a msd system retard ur timing a bit get colder plugs and run n2o. depends on what kinda car u want to build. this isnt an issue of what is better, the best setup would be with both. but regardless it depends on how much money ur willing to spend and what u want to build.

but to argue ur point if u want the car to constantly have that extra hp then a turbo can be more ideal for ur situation, i want a normal daily driver with a punch when needed for those building an all out autocross car nitrous would be out of the questions and a turbo would be ur way to go. so it all depends on what ur looking to build, both can cost a pretty penny done right.
