nitrous or supercharger?

**egaian** · 12-24-2006, 07:37 PM

After thinking about this a bit I decided that I would go with the NOS...my reasoning is, why spend all that money, extra maintenance, etc...why not have choices? you can build the motor you want and make real #'s (i.e. motor...thats what its's about right? the motor? the car?) and then you have the "option" to add the boost...I have seen to many superchargers perform like a boy on prom night- quick to start, disapointing finish...life is about options- why not have the best of both worlds? I mean look at what everyone calls the best episode of pinks ever? the two brothers the 69 firebird and the 99 camaro....all motor? why restrict yourself to only one option? I have seen too many NOS cars outrun supercharged cars and I have seen all motor cars outrun supercharged cars...why not have two options? jmo....

AND just IMO, this poll sucks ass.....N20 is way better than a super charger, anyday......but thats just MY opinion......

It is funny that people who don't know jack about cars have so much to say! This sounds like the old 03-04 Cobra threads! Different folks due different things to make power! IE.-stroker/big bore, nitrous, turbo, s/c, h/c/i, and high compression.

What is NOS? I only know of it as a company.

The poll speaks for itself!

Please take into account the vast knowledge that is being spread around here though! It is very amusing!

So in other words because someone saw a show on tv that had two all motor cars racing for titles and it was the best. All races must be done all motor because thats what a car is about...

aww come on packy are you saying your car would outrun a LS1 with a set of stage 2 heads, cam, and 150 shot with forged pistons and rods? same price as most superchargers out there... and you can take your pick on nitrous jets.. Hell if you beat that 150 they can open the glove box and try again with a 200...

Well that depends on who is driving the car I guess! Driven well it would be close with the 150(drivers race). With the 200 kick if driven right it would smoke my bags. I never said nitrous was slow just gave my e-pinion. It just seems that some people refuse to believe that their n2o beast was beat by a slow sc'd LS1. Also in their vast experience from watching tv they know that nitrous always beats superchargers... I just prefer the S/C for driveability reasons IE- Gas mileage, street tempers, and flat out ability layeth the smack down when the boost gauge leaves the vacuum side!

I have always said it myself if I had to build another ride it would be a Vette with a nasty direct port system!

Now I would NEVER say that Nitrous will always beat a supercharger. There are some NASTY superchargers out there and the power will always be there. So especially for something like more of a road coarse car, the s/c would be the way to go. But 1/4 mile racing (with the right fuel setup) you have a much better kick, and instant powerband when using nitrous over a s/c.
As for driveability if your pairing nitrous with a bad ass cam.. then forget about it but you can still forge and spray with a mild cam and boltons and still maintain good street manners.

Like what was said before, its all in the setup.. Both have advantages and the the only one that really makes either stand out from one another is PRICE

I don't see turbo's in the poll?

**juiced99ws6** · 12-25-2006, 07:38 PM

Turbo= much cheaper boost

me likey. Thats the way Im going after my next deployment.. But still keeping the spray!

**OSU Buckeyes** · 12-26-2006, 07:53 PM

Just sell the LS1 and get a GN and noone will even argue w/ u.

Offtopic: but congrats on becoming a mod esp. after only coming back to this site last month.

That is a fast climb to a staff position G/J!

TAp and Zoso are not going to be happy tho...
