Default Dohc zc nitrous or hmt??

I have a stock dohc zc. I just wanted your guys opinions on wat i should go with, i dont know that much about this motor and if it is strong enough for nitrous or turbo. Anyways i have a Hmt kit running a ihi ford probe turbo hoping to run 8-10 psi on turbo edit, or should i go with a wet kit on a 75 shot? please lmk bc if the zc can handle a 75 shot, then i might trade my kit for a complete NX kit with purge and all. Kinda wanna do nitrous b/c its more sleeper for me and less work to install bc im lazy

Turbo, more reliable and cheaper if you plan on keeping it for a while.....

It all depends on you, when you blow your motor and how good at tuning you are.
Both will shorten the life of your engine considerably unless you build for it.

Power adder is power adder, either way.

i am goin with about 8psi once i get all my parts. i have heard too many stories of people/friends blowing motors with nitrous. almost everyone i know with a dohc zc is boosting or plans to boost it.

dont just boost it, tune it.

I'm all for boost, but I have heard that the ZC's love NOS.
