supercharger + nitrous
I have the zex wet kit now but I'm thinking of getting the kenne bell
I want to keep the nitrous but would i have to have direct port nitrous or just use it as it is set up now
Could i use the nitrous to cool the intercooler down somehow since the line is already their?
and how much have you guys with the kb been paying with labor and without?
thanks in advance for any help or ideas

RE: supercharger + nitrous
You and I are in the same boat. I thought about just running an 8psi pully and when I'm running har just run a 25-50 shot just to cool the intake charge and the few extra ponies from the juice wouldn't hurt. I was wondering the same though. i don't know why you couldn't run a wet shot through the supercharger but don't know anyone running that setup.

I definitely don't think I will need it but rather than go to a 10lb pulley I thought I could use an 8# and use the nitrous when I need a little extra boost and the cooler IAT's would probably help resist detonation with the nitrous. IAT's can get up there pretty quick here in Texas with boost.

RE: supercharger + nitrous
With a good tune, your KB is going to easily make more power than your stock motor can withstand anyway so the N20 is really not needed.
The only time N20 comes into play with the twin screw is for what you described (cooling the intake)
The smallest pulley you can get for the KB is a 2" and you can make up to aout 16-17 psi with that. The way guys get more is to start playing the pulley game with the idlers and cranks. A cobra crank pulley will net you 2 more psi on any pulley with any s/c kit.
Once you have exhausted that , then the N20 comes into play to cool the intake charge and net you a little more boost.
On the centrifugals, the N20 is a great equalizer in the 1200-3000 rpm range as an equalizer for down low power and off the line but it's just not needed with the TS. Running 8-10 psi is going to be where you want to stay on your stock motor anyway. You don't want to mess with cooling the intake on the stock motor.
YES, as you described, cooling the IAT's is actually GOOD but the problem on the stock motor lies with the stock rods and the hit they will take when the boost hits. Cooling the intake charge is going to make the down low torque hit like a freight train and normally that's a good thing but not on the stock motor. The rods are just too weak. Your chances of sending one out the side of your block will go up greatly with less HP that way.
