Just get a paxton 2200 and be done

 

i am going from a kb to a nitrous setup for now until i get bored and get a turbo lol. a supercharger/turbo would be the best way to go.

 

Supercharger.

 

Maybe racing ProMod!!!

 

I've thought this over for 26 years of driving. I finally concluded that a centrifugal supercharger was best for my combination. Like a turbo, you can actually launch the car without much trouble as the power builds with rpm's - perfect to maintain streetability. But, a centrifugal runs cooler than a turbo, so there's less heat to worry about.

I've owned a turbo car before and it was intercooled, but the supercharger is an easier and less expensive power adder.

I have no desire to use nitrous. I have friends who are always having issues filling bottles, warming bottles, pressure problems, etc. It always seems to be a hassle for them. The supercharger is always there anytime you want it.

 

How fast do you go through bottles? Not very familiar with N20 but how many pulls or runs is a bottle worth?

 

Nos = Rice
Super/Turbo = Muscle Car

 

How in the world is running Nitrous getting called Rice?

Not to mention NOS is a brand of Nitrous who got a bad rap because of F&F movies..Since NOS is rice does that mean NEX, Nitrous Xpress, and Edelbrock systems are "rice" aswell?

 

Here here! Well said.

 

Relax, I'm not serious. Hence the

Although it seems like ricers are more apt to run to Nitrous than those with real vehicles.

 

Hmm...well I never really knew what that was used for anyways hah

Anyways with regard to your second statement, I think you would be surprised.

 

Bottle feeding is for babies.......real men get blown!!
But seriously eveyone I know that has nitrous wishes they had a turbo/supercharger so that the power is there on demand. Even my brother in law that bottle fed his 1996 Z28 switched to a Procharger this spring and loves it.

 

Actually today's new nitrous systems allow power on demand, for instance if your bottle valve is open, you can just arm the system from the dash and the electronics recognise when you have WOT and there by activate the system.

I'd get a blower any day over nitrous but for $5/6k for a complete installation I'm gonna get a bottle kit till I can afford that. I just spent well over $10k on mods including chassis stiffening which I would recommend to anyone wishing to pass the 300hp limit with their Stangs.

 

All fine and dandy until your bottle runs out then where's your power on demand? Plus bottle fed guys are always making excuses when you beat them...."my bottle ran out" or "I forgot to purge my system" or "my bottle isn't open", etc., etc.With F/I the power is there every time you mash the gas pedal. Including the cost of the nitrous kit and 3 yrs of bottle filling my brother in law figures he spent the same as if he'd just bought his Procharger.

 

No one is doubting that power that is Always there is definitely preferable, but for someone like me who daily drives his car and rarely races except for Saturday nights and a rare trip to the track- Nitrous proves to be a good, reliable, cheaper alternative to go fast.

Right now a friend of mine just got a heads/cam setup with nitrous for track/racing use pushing 380N/A about 470 on juice, and since a friend of mine is a mechanic I get free labor at his shop I am kind of pondering this route.

 

I'd only consider nitrous if I was into serious racing....and I didn't care about the engine...and I'd probably already be blown at that point anyway...

 

Dude, what are you doing to me? I just checked out turbohorsepower and the single screw looks SO GOOD!
