No worries with the rant blacksmoke. Everyone is entitled to there opinion. I was just looking at it from a sensible point from where i stand. I only go to the track a few times a year and for a measly 600 to a 1000 i could have an extra 75 horsepower.
I just dont want to spend 4500 on a sc. I have 410's in the rear so at this point it makes no sense to get sc. And i dont want to have to repay to get the gears changed out. Plus I have cams that are not for superchargers. So that is a couple reasons why i didnt want to go that route
Finally ur view of cheating horsepower is like saying sc and turbos are cheating too. I guess it is if u are racing a car that is not equiped with those features and u brag about kicking there a**. So to me its not cheating just another way to get some more gain from your stang. So i guess for me its not a big deal as i dont go to the track alot and race. Even on the street if some idiot pulls up next to me and wants to race. I just let them go. For me its not about bragging and keeping something hidden. Its about the time slip.

I think it would be pretty cool to have nitrous, for lets say a thousand bucks, you get around 100 horsepower on tap? so what if it lasts for a couple weeks, its still there when you need it..i'd love to have 400+ hp and be in the low 12s

I think Hollywood is what put the bad taste I have for Nitrous in my mouth.

I'm on my 6th set of 555r's, factory clutch, stock fuel sys, at 65,000 miles,
125 shot, HT0 plugs. The # of 10lb bottles I have sprayed into this setup over
the past 5 YEARS would have paid for three or more superchargers.
Never had a glitch cept for the zex solenoids have gone bad twice.
I did my homework til I had an excellent understanding of how to run it
as safe as poss and I would recommend it to anyone who is smart and
responsible.
As far as cost, I run a simple setup with no added safety measures, $600.
I feel the torque gains can't be beat.
