Nitrous is the best bang for your buck, where you gonna get 80 hp for like 500 dollars?

that depends on your driving style, if you floor it around every corner i'd suggest something along the lines of a turbo or a b-series swap. nitrous is a cheap way to gain some extra torque but overall if you use it too much you are going to be forced to fill it up all the time.
