the 100+ shot is going to give you 100hp (give or take) the converter doesn't. Nitrous is going to come on at ~3000 rpm. Torque converter will get you out of the hole quicker. Nitrous didn't do much for my 60' times.
Get a small (<3000rpm) converter and nitrous.

Cant I spray under 3k rpm, or is it that I wont see the 100hp gain till 3k rpm? I thought I read its ok to spray from a dig to improve my 60 foot without running an after market stall. I'll have my turbo on soon so I wont need nitrous once I'm in boost

Had a little V8 conversion S15 Jimmy that would only stall at 1400 rpm on a stock V8 converter with a 700R4. 60's sucked at about 2.20's as I recall. Added a 125 wet shot. It was on a 3000 chip and would hit about about 20-30 ft out. It cut consistent 1.80's on DR's. LOVED IT. Your results may vary. BTW it cut .95 off the 1/8th times.

the nitrous will do more fo your ETs than the stall will, but the stall is always there which is pretty nice. but if you were to do both you would probably drop almost 2 seconds in the quarter if your tranny will hold up. either way i think your gonna be pleased, i love my nitrous and the install was easy so if i were you i'd do that first.
