Yeah, the stock block is running in a couple of different TC'd trucks at around 600HP.

Would NOS be as good and about the same price? Seems like they both add power, both have to be refilled, ect...

NOS works differently, it's actually burning and creating a much stronger explosion. MI/WI isn't really burning as much as it's allow you to dump more fuel.
A couple of folks here have tried NOS in this engine... The block holds up, but the heads tend to come off. NOS is VERY nasty to an engine. It has to be built to be able to handle it - that usually means larger bolts on the heads, grommets around all the ports etc.

And has anyone heard about CryO2 systems? They are used on some tuner cars. It used Co2 to cool the intake air down to near freezing (no it does not inject it into the intake, it is just used to cool it). It is a nice little mod people do down here in hot Texas, up north it doesn't do as much.

Interesting!
