RE: Nitrous/SC/Turbo
I'm a nitrous guy at the moment, but plan on switching over to some type of turbo in the near future.
Had plans to do it this spring, but I'd rather get my rear up to par, and possibly get disc brakes in the back...
Stopping sounds good too

Current setup: Stock block, turbo, low boost.
Future setup: Built block, bigger turbo, tons of boost.

money is a different story but the older you get the bigger the bills become. to make more money you have to work more and have even less free time. as far as this age old question...let's just say i never met anyone who ditched their turbo for a sc or nitrous but i like nitrous because it can be so stealthy and it definitely has a sort of "badass" label attached to it. idk why but so many people are scared of nitrous so i love when people i know go that route. plus you can always use nitrous with a sc/blower or turbo

but don't you think that after a couple bottle refills you could save that moeny for a s/c or turbo?
the poll is closer than i thought

Yes i agress i had a S/C grand prix and turbo eclipse, and the rush of a turbo is great, its like the engerizer bunny keeps going and going, and the grand prix was alittle bland and the power was constant....but turbos seems sooo complex and expensive so i went with nitrous, since its about $40 a fill i will be up to the cost of turbo soon.... but when u tell people you have nitrous they think your crazy and they THINK its like the fast and furious, so thats kinda cool too...

that's why i like turbo... having that boost at once. my friend here has a SVO and i love it
plus you don't have to fill up the bottle
ORIGINAL: ericdiver
i was torn between getting a S/C or NO2 and choose the juice because i have a lead foot and having the power all the time I would either get more tickets, or blow up the motor. but with the remote bottle opener its almost as bad.... and face it having a 100hp shot hit you at once is quite a rush

rebuilding a head unit on a blower is not cheap, and i have buddies that have to do it every 15k miles.
turbo's are expensive and don't last a really long time either.
$3k for a blower or turbo...if you paid cash....$5k if you put it on the plastic
$500 for nitrous....+ $2500 refills = 125 fills at $2.50 lb
there are only 52 weekends in a year , and a bottle a week is ALOT
to me it's all about going fast RIGHT NOW !

At times brakeing is fine, but it can get pretty hairy.
And brakes are so very expensive...
