If you have that much saved up, I would go for the blower personally. I am spraying on my engine now and will be until FI but, if I had that much saved up, I would do some permanant FI vs. the refills of the juice. I think it would be better as a DD than nitrous too IMHO.

For a fun street car blower ftw, hands down. You could make a faster car with the same money on the juice, but its still going to be slow until you open the bottle up.

There isn't anything like having all the power available all the time. I can't see this on a nitrous kit unless you plan on leaving it powered and ready and spraying every time you feel like romping on it lol.

def blower in your case. 1) you just about have the money for it, and 2) blower would be more fun for a street car.

I have nitrous and love it, but i would eventually like to get a blown. You are so close to getting a supercharger I would just save a little longer and pick one up.

i love it the only down side is the refilling. i think i may purchase my own tank and fill it my self with the old freezer method.
but i am currently contemplating building my own turbo setup as i believe i can do it on the cheap.

you're so close...save for the blower

i went with the nitrous. i think you would see better track times with the nitrous over the blower and thats really all i care about. when its off, u can have a nice streetable daily driver but when u want to have fun just oper up the bottle. not saying a supercharged gt isnt streetable but if ur just cruising around in it every day a constant 400rwhp might egt u into soem trouble hah. +1 on gettin some sticky tires whatever u do tho. and the tq is just amazing when u spray it!

If you already have $3000, I would just wait and buy the mongoose kit from MPH. Just be patient and you will have constant power.
