Power and Weather

So I recently got a new job and I now have a good amount of money to put into the car. I currently have a 75 shot of nitrous but I want more, The only thing is that I live in Seattle. Im currently indecisive about supercharger, or raising my nitrous shot to a 150. I am curious, all you F/I guys, whats it like driving in the rain? It is my daily driver. I would love to have that power all the time, but I have no experience driving a F/I car. Do you feel its worth it with this weather?

SC's for this car are centrifugal, so the boost builds with RPM. With that said, initially, you wouldn't have much traction problems from idle/take off etc.

Obviously, you would have less traction in the rain, so

ok, i just didnt know since the s/c's are always working, and i know i have bad traction sometimes as is. Any comparisons on 150 shot vs. S/C?

can't compare nitrous to supercharger because one is power at the touch of a button and the other is continuos power. Plus a supercharger imo is much better and safer. Just my 2 cents
