Default not so new to s2ki

hi guys. im not so new to s2ki, ive been a member for 6 months but have not formally introduced myself. i bought an 03 silverstone from a good owner with 70k on it about 5 months ago and was able to go home on r&r mid deployment to drive it. i love the car and wanted to buy some goodies for it. so i went and bought a cbe, tp, vafc2 w/ p&p and aem eugo. i also bought a set of eibach pro kit lowing springs and smoke sidemarkers and ricks smoke diffusers.
after all of this i feel like this car is amazing stock but i wanna put my own spin on it and its still a little sluggish. so i was tossing back and forth between a turbo or supercharger and then i saw a post about a guy spraying a 75 shot with 4.77s and a significant weight reduction and getting pretty decent times. now my s is a dd so i cant gut the interior and 4.77s are a little too short for me so i thought it would be nice still to just have the instantaneous added power of a nitrous system. and i figure in between now and my next deployment that i would get an ap2 tranny and rebuild the diff so it would be damn near bullet proof along with clutch, fw, and pp.
now i guess after this little story a little explaination to my post would be nice, right? ok well i plan on just getting a nitrous system along with my vafc tune for now. i know i wanna do a wet shot through the intake tube. later i plan on doing the drivetrain work to make the car geared a little quicker and able to handle this added power. so how would be the best way to go ahead and do the set up for this with the vafc? i know a bit about cars and how they run as i was a backyard mechanic before i joined the army and i am now a mechanic in the military as well. so dont be shy with getting into detail. thanx to any and all replies regarding this topic. also pics and description of your setup would be appreciated as well.

i do mostly stoplight driving so 4.77s work out great for me, lots of fun, i did think about nitrous a long time ago but constant bottle fillups would prove to be annoying, so i went supercharged, lots of fun with the 4.77s.

used supercharger kits are usually about $3k and easy to install, already built diffs with gears is about $1k, and both are on all the time, i'm sure a nitrous expert will chime in his opinion, costs, advantages.
