When i think of a mean muscle car i think of HP, speed, loud. Not nitrous. When i think of rice burners i think of a piece of S***, nos, fart pipe. This is probably b/c of the house i grew up in and the movies i watch. And the lack of knowledge i have about cars which i am trying to enhance.

Oh damn! What the hell have you been putting together down in RI? I never figured you for a Zex guy though. I like Zex, but I had you pegged for an NX guy.
Sam, i've had nitrous in my car since last october... I just dont brag about it, or use it often. It took from october till this past april for me to empty my bottle.

As for what I've been putting together.... I still am not too sure.. but its gonna be crazy when im finished!

ORIGINAL: 67mustang302

I bet you he did it cuz the bottle is purple
Damn straight!!!!

from a dig supercharger would give more acceleration on the spot but when the turbo starts winding up it will start creeping up on the supercharger, its a give and take

Well since the mustang is rear wheel drive and it would be of my interest to have a little lag to avoid more tire spin and having the turbo power that creeps up on the supercharger would be of my best interest?

Nitrous will get you the best acceleration as long as you get traction. It's active 100% as soon as you hit WOT and have it on. And if you're concerned about launches, get a 2 stage setup. And as far as loud horsepower and fast, have you ever seen a nitrous Pro Mod car? Or any REAL car on nitrous? Most rice doesn't have nitrous, they slap a sticker on and maybe get a fake purge kit, and the ones that do have nitrous are adding 100hp to 120hp. 220 WHOLE hp.....woooooooo. You build a simple little 360hp 302 and slap a 125 shot on it it'll scare you on the street

you dont really worry about lag with 302 cubic inches of compressed, hot air...

its a big problem when you get under 134 cubic inches... which most import motors are 134 (2.2l) or less
