Default Nitrous or SuperCharger ????????

IF YOU HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN NITROUS OR SUPERCHARGER WHICH WOULD IT BE AND WHY.

WILL A SUPER CHARGER ON A 4.6L 2007 GT MAKE SUNDAY DRIVES WITH THE WIFE TOO MUCH OR IS NITROUS JUST THE TICKET FOR HAVING A LITTLE FUN WHEN YOU NEED IT........??????????

Kind of like asking someone which is better............building up the motor you currently have or jamming a bigger crate motor in there. You are gonna find pros and cons to each approach.

Alot of ppl favor nitrous because its cheap and easy to install. The downside is that it does run out, and has to be refilled from time to time. And, especially in the new mustangs, it requires stopping the car and switching to a nitrous tune to make the best use of it..........not exactly ease of use.

On the other hand, a supercharger is far more expensive and requires alot more work to install. It also has the potential to put more wear and tear on an engine than nitrous does.......since you don't use nitrous on a regular basis the way you probably wouldwith a s/c. On the plus side, the power is always there and waiting.......whenever and wherever you need it. Just push the pedal down and voila.

I say nitrous. 100 horsepower from a supercharger and 100 horses from a nitrous kit poses a big difference in price. U can get a lot more for ur money. U can get a nitrous kit and get abottled filled 40 times and still will not come 2 the price of a supercharger. Superchargers also use a lot of fuel where as nitrous ismore of a use it when u need it horsepower gain.
