Did Shifty mention how expensive it is? Double it!

Most bang for the buck is nitrous, but like any power adder you have to have built the engine to handle the added power (clearances have to be opened up to handle the added heat in the combustion chamber) and it makes economic sense to strengthen the bottom end as well to handle the added stress. Down side to nitrous is the empty bottle at the end of your fun.

I would recommend a centripetal super charger with an air to air condenser as being what would work best with your big block. Everything fits under the hood, and it never runs out of boost the way a nitrous bottle empties itself when you are out showing off.
