supercharger VS Nitrous

[silverbullet]

Ok, so I have been saving up some money an I am trying to decide what I want to buy. I know I can get a nitrous kit for under $500 but I am not sure if I really want nitrous, an I would like a supercharger but they cost so much. An I have heard that you can get more power from Nitrous, but Im just not to sure what to do. So here are my question, just tel me what yal think or would do?

1. Witch one will give me the best overal HP?
2. Witch one will cause less stress an damege to the engine?
3. How much time can I knock off in the 1/4 with nitrous vs a supercharger?

Over time the NOS will cost you $$ too!!

What is your budget on the supercharger?

Supercharger gives relyable power all the time.
NOS is unrelyable (a lot of ways it can fail) but is easily hidden and gives best bang for the buck. Either is safe in moderation and harmfull when maxed out.
If you have $5,-6,000. in your budget to start, blow it. NOS cost about $40. a 15# bottle and you get maybe 4 good passes to a fill.
Which ever you chose you will be faster than the truck next door.

I accually dont have a budget I am just looking for the best deal. An I relly would rather have a whipple but I would take a magna or something else if I could get a good deal or finance it.

If it makes any difference, I researched SC for about a month SOLID and ended up buying a Magnacharger Radix from ProjectR. Couldn't be happier with the whole transaction as Brian is a real class act!

I would go with the Radix over the whipple any day of the week!

i would defintally get a radix over whipple. Check out prochargers. I had one on my truck and i had a whipple and the procharger has way more power and rund better to. BUt you honestly cant beat nitrous. I had a 150 shot on my truck and i spent like 400 on the kit and it was faster then procharger or whipple. Nitrous has alot of varibles but if you get it right youll get more power out of nos. you just got to know what your doing.

it costs about 45 dollars from jegs to get a bottle filled. the problem with nitrous is that it makes peak power at top dead center and acually tries to turn the crank BACKWARDS, where as a blower makes peak power at about 20-30 degrees off of top dead center, so a blower is easier on your engine. but nitrous is less expensive, till u need to get the bottle filled all the time.
