Come on fast and furious... Are you taking advise from vin diesel again? If your looking in that direction, keep a supercharger on your radar too. Obviously more bucks for a charger, but it's way more usable than nitrous. Like when your at a stand still (in deep mud or sand) you will want the power right when you get on the gas, not later. Also why a supercharger over turbo. Turbos have to spool, chargers don't.

Turbo technology has come a long way. Hybrid turbo start boost almost instantly and get much better mileage.
