Default Supercharger+ nitrous?

I currently have a 2003 cobra and run the stock setup, eventually i plan to switch out for a twin screw blower, but atm the car is under warranty. Would it be possible to run nitrous, without show/obvious damage, other then something serious going wrong. Do people run nitrous and a blower often, or can it even be done? I have a local shop that can tune it correctly if this is possible. At the time im running the stock eaton making 459hp, what kind of increase should i expect? Thanks in advance for helping a first time nitrous noob.

boost and nitrous is very common. because of the boost, when nitrous is added, the gains you get from it are double what it would be if the motor was n/a. in other words, a 50shot will add close to 100hp. 100shot will make close to 200hp, etc.

youll have to punch a whole in the intake tube for the fogger but if you just buy a spare, you can put on the spare when you go into the dealer for service

^ to elaborate him air under pressure heats up. this is why we have intercoolers, meth injection, and heat exchangers when running boosted motors. running nitrous cools your intake temps a good bit.

yes you can run nitrous. your gains are going to be dependant on your shot size. you can jet anywhere from like 30hp to 200+ hp sprays.

heres a pic of my buddy's cobra with nitrous on it. he has the solenoids hidden inside the fender so the only evidence is the couple steel braided lines going into his engine bay from the fender.

Yes, you can run nitrous with a blower. I'm running a 75shot on my KB setup now, and it's a definite kick in the butt!!

and on the other part, if i took off before going to the dealership for warranty work, would they be able to tell/prove and void the warranty? i guess what im asking is, does it leave specific scaring or something on the engine thats noticable.

Other than lines, solenoids, and the hole in the IM, that should be it for the most part.

They have pretty much covered it. Your torque on the cobra should go through the roof also. 50 shot will give you like 75hp increase and 130tq increase

this was answered already. there is no physical way to tell if nitrous was ever on a car unless there is a hole in the intake where the nozzle was put in, or if there is still nitrous/accessories still attached to the car.

no, no way to tell it was on there.

and yeah, the gains are multiplied like stated because the cooling effect is so much more effective on a blower car.

-100* can cool stuff down with a quickness. to say the least. i'd start with 35-50 jets and bump to 50 to 75 max personally
