nitrous or water/methanol

I have a 06 block with factory forged internals, going to be running a 2.8" pulley with zzp midlength headers, k&n intake, #60 inj, cold plugs, now heres my question to make my goal of 300-350hp come true what would be the best choice? thanks for the help my build is going well so far ca't wait to post when done

does water/meth only reduce detonation or does it help with power at all

It cools engine charge down which allows you to safely run more timing for more power but nos will will give more power

Nitrous is the way to go. I have a complete set up for sale. I don't have the (fuel) portion of the nitrous as I was going to run the dryshot with my GMS3. However, it would include a complete wire harness I fabbed from the trunk to the fire wall. Check out the link. PM me if interested. I may budge on the price a wee bit.

no ecotec has complete forged internals the rods are cast then hit in a forging press then the cap is sheared off the pistons are either utectic or hyperutectic

as for hp i think its possable to get into the 300 range i dont think nitrous is needed but cams will be needed
