I'm having this same dilemma right now...I think I'll go with nitrous because the power is still there for cheaper. The whine of a blower isn't worth the extra $1500.

i've always been an adiment nitrous junkie...but looking at my reciepts of how many bottles of nitrous i have been through in the few months it hasn't had a broke rearend since I've had the new motor...i've went through a LOT of friggen nitrous...

so my new hypothesis is boost + nitrous is better than only one :-D

im still bouncing back and forth between the 2. looks like im gonna be getting a ZEX kit for super cheap and then ill just run the juice till i save enough for the blower. the blower is either gonna be a Kenne Bell or a Procharger, havent decided yet.

If you go with nitrous in the meantime, keep in mind that it'll take you that much longer to save up for the blower.

consider this...after i got a tune on my car - i was shooting two bottles of nitrous through my motor in a weekend. It takes 26$ to fill an empty bottle. I had the car for about a month and a half - you do the math ;)

Not everyone is going to go nuts with it like you. :rollseyes :-D


If I had a built motor I'd probably run 3 bottles per weekend. :rolling:

i've had one of those weekends back when my motor wasn't built and I went through 4 bottles. My own 10lb, my buddie's 15lber, and this guy let me use his bottle to race him ( he was running all motor and put about 10 cars on me with me spraying) then the coming tuesday ran through 3/4 bottle...hehe

it was around that time my motor started ticking :xpl: :nonono:

get a nx 150 hosst wetkit with a GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tune and you can spray all day with no problems and during the summer when your bottle is nice and hot you will blow th the boost heads out of the water. This works for me at least, but im in Texas where it gets really hot plus im a nitrous junkie. www.nitrodaves.com for all your nitrous needs.

why not just save up and get both?
thats the plan, but im gonna be getting the nitrous first, and then most likely a procharger. nitrous for the torque and the centri blower for the top end POWAAAA!!!!! then ill build it up when i kill the bottom end.

Which do you guys prefer. each has its ups and its downs. i was gonna be getting a kick ass deal on a Vortech but it fell through so now im looking at either getting a 100 wet shot kit or saving up for a Procharger. Right now im leaning toward the spray becasue its cheaper and it will make my car a better daily driver be\casue i wont constantly have lots of power, only when i want to. but nothing sounds better than a Cobra with a supercharger IMO but they are damn expensive. what do u guys think i should do? get the nitrous or save for the supercharger?

Justin

in my opinion, if i was going to go anything other than n/a i would go with a supercharger instead of nitrous. for various reasons, and my own opinion...lol
