wet kit is the way to go. use a rpm window switch and a fuel pressure saftey switch and your set for reliable fun

In a nitrous application you will create more torque than HP. But SC cars dont run dry, and the power is not there by a flip of a switch. If you have a 125 shot of nitrous or a 125 extra HP via a SC you are gonna be a happy man.
Thats the key right there. Nitrous creates a ton of torque, a 125 shot of n2o might make near 200 ft/lbs of torque. This will make the n2o car "feel' faster in most cases. The butt dyno feels torque not HP. IMO the way best way to take advantage of n2o is to set up the car to be able to take advantage of all that torque on the launch, low 60 foots are the key to a winning drag car. If you don't have slicks and a dialing suspension, you can "soften " the hit with a progressive controller.

After a couple years of use a nitrous system will have cost you a good chunk of cash, and be worth nearly nothing. A supercharger will add value to the car.

That sounds like a pound of feathers versus a pound of steel type question.

If they are both putting 125hp to the wheels, they are both putting 125hp to the wheels.

As far as which is the better power adder, it really depends on your goals, your needs, and your budget.

Done right, they both kick ***. Once you decide which one to go with, you open up a whole other can of worms. Wet vs dry shot? Centrifugal vs positive displacement? ZEX, Venom, NX? Vortech, ProCharger, KB?

So to answer the question of which is better, the answer would be...yes. [8D]
I second this.....

they both badass... they both sound cool.... supercahrgers spining and the nitrous purge are both badass... they both make your car even faster so whats teh problem... do what u want... can u afford a supercharger.. if not then get nitrous... if u dont have a redially avalible nitrous fill station then get a supercharger... eitehr way make sure u dont cut corners either way tho... otherwise ull run into problems
