a lot comes down to preference, FI will make more hp for the money but may sacrifice reliability if done improperly. It would help to figure out goals and a budget then just research and decide for yourself.

Boost > N/A > SC...

A nice turbo setup is the easiest and cheapest way to make a lot of reliable power on a stock or built block. On my stock block i'm making 315/216 with very little lag and for less than $5k with absolutely everything including drag radials. Add another $1500 and you can bump that up to 430whp (with a built engine rather than stock)

It is mostly a preference thing...personally i'd rather spend money and make power. I'm sure NA has perks, but i struggle to see them

All comes down to your budget. Forced induction will make the best bang for your buck compared to nitrous, yet is a red zone for newb's. A cheap turbo kit can be peiced together for a small amount of money and will make much more power compared to a N/A setup for the same amount of money.
