I say nitrous. I have a remote bottle opener with an activation switch that i can have nitrous on in less than 5 seconds when ever i want. Also awesome gas milage. Plus you wont see the torque curve that i see from nitrous with boost. My 2+

but if you like 100+extra horses 'there' anytime then boost it. If you would only want them occasionally then juice her

juice is the fastest, no power adder comes close to the TQ they make. plus once you hit 3k or where ever you start your spray it's an instant 100hp + a shiat load of TQ (depending on shot size)


but yes the bottle will run out.....

Last time i replied to a topic like this I became public enemy #1....my give a damns busted. BOOST - Any kind you can get for cheap. $3400 for mine used with boost-a-pump, fuel pump, boost and a/f wideband gauge. Can't hardly beat that. Without the gauges it would have been $2900. A buddy of mine got his vortech with everything needed to plug and play for $1600.

I've wanted to try the 1500$ thread in the boost section, but I wouldn't even have a clue what to look for in the actual S/C. Any tips?


Also those that are saying N20, what brand is best? and what type of shot?(I think wet is better right?)

How close are you to a fill station? It's a street car, are you going to be content to drive without the horsepower or are you going to be running to a fill station every week? If you use it alot, nitrous becomes expensive. $50 per week is still $2600 per year. That quickly pays for a supercharger. You can get a complete new Mongoose kit for $3,900.

My gas mileage only went down at most a half mile per gallon after installing the supercharger.

I wouldn't even know how close the closest fill station is. I know there is one in town somewhere because I know a few kids who own lolricers that are juiced.

I would rather S/C it. I would probably go through a bottle every 2ish weeks.

I'm not set on a S/C so I would still like to know what some good N20 kits are. And what to look for if I were to buy a used S/C unit.
